Excellent tour to this beautiful waterfall - Samuel came to pick us up at our hotel and began telling us about the island and answering any questions we had about the Azores! He drove us to a little village near Nordeste. It was a beautiful drive arriving at the beginning of the trail to this waterfall. On the way he explained the significance of the abandon town. We also saw some lovely chickens and roosters on our way. There is a degree of difficulty to this hike but most of it is under the folliage of the trees. Such a breath-taking finish to come to the beautiful waterfall. It took us a few hours and afterwards, Samuel took us for a snack and then we went to the hot springs for a relaxing bath after our hike. Samuel was very accomodating and very informative on all questions about the island. I hightly recommend booking this trip. Samuel is outstanding! He was the best guide we had all week. Make sure you give him as much notice as possible. He books ahead and fills up quickly. Michelle from Canada

Great afternoon hike - Sam was a great hiking guide. His knowledge and previous experiences really added to our total trip. We originally signed up for this tour because it was offered in the afternoon. But it was just a great experience overall. The little village and stories were captivating, the waterfall was worth the hike, the chickens were a welcome addition for a little way along our hike. We really appreciated his patience as we worked our way up the inclines! Thanks Sam for a great afternoon.
