Pico Castelo to Pico do Facho Walk in Porto Santo

We begin the walk by climbing Pico do Castelo which is 437 metres above sea-level, through a foot-path built in most of the journey with basalt stones and same steps. During the walk we can observe same of endemics plants like the Dragon tree, Heather, Juniper-tree, and others trees planted recently. Pico Castelo it’s the only green mountain of the island started the reforestation at 1912 with Aleppo pines trees, Lebanon cedars and others species. In this mountain we can also observe same local birds and others that only come here to nidify.
From the top of this peak the view is particularly good for observing the relief of the island with the two volcanic formations at each end separated by the lower plain.
We go down this peak and reach the walk path that goes around the highest peak Pico do Facho (517mtrs). During this walk we can contemplate a 360º panoramical view of the island.
