Grande Rota da Graciosa

OpenLast checked September 27, 2026

Graciosa's Grande Rota, one of only two Great Routes in the archipelago that come back to where they started: forty kilometres round the island in two sections. The first follows the east and south coasts and takes in the Caldeira, where the Furna do Enxofre is a cavern some 194 m across with a lake inside. The second returns over Serra Branca. Medium, fourteen hours.
