Vereda do Pico Branco e Terra Chã
OpenLast checked October 26, 2026
Porto Santo's mountain walk, from the ER 120 up to Terra Chã, 2.7 km each way and 5.4 km in total. It climbs from 184 m to 450 m and IFCN allows an hour and a half at a medium grade. The island is dry and largely treeless, so there is little shade on the way up.
