Trilho Pedestre Pico Alto - Anjos (PR2)
The path begins in a tarmac road that climbs towards the Pico Alto (587 m), the highest peak of Santa Maria. Then follows up a thicket of cater toward the Floor of John Thomas. Here you can see some plants of the Laurissilva forest, such as pau-branco, Heather, uva-da-serra, tamujo, Laurel, among others. More ahead the Barreiro da Faneca, known as "Red Desert of the Azores", because it is composed of reddish clay soils. Already at the end, still time to visit the Furna DAS.
