About the trail

Dropping from the forestry post at Lamaceiros, this trail descends through dense laurisilva into the deep, river-carved Ribeira da Janela valley. Walkers trade ridgeline views for a humid green corridor of trees and running water; the steady descent and return climb earn its moderate rating.
