Start of the Hike: Calabaceira Valley Begin your guided hike through the lush Calabaceira Valley, a hidden gem filled with natural beauty and tranquility. Over the course of approximately 2 hours, you’ll walk 4 kilometers through gentle terrain.

Your guide will share interesting facts about local crops and traditions. Nature & Wildlife Spotting Keep your eyes open! With a bit of luck, you may encounter monkeys in their natural habitat — a special and unexpected treat along the trail. A highlight of the hike is a stop at a large, ancient tree nestled in the valley — peaceful, photogenic, and steeped in local legend. According to tradition, Charles Darwin described this tree during his 1832 visit to Santiago Island.
