Embark on a refreshing adventure with the PRC29 SMI - Caldeiras da Ribeira Grande - Salto do Cabrito Hike in São Miguel, Azores. This scenic circular trail starts at the Caldeiras of Ribeira Grande, where you can relax in hot springs and enjoy a meal at a local restaurant. Follow the path through lush vegetation, crossing streams and ascending to the stunning Salto do Cabrito waterfall. With a mix of natural beauty and man-made structures like hydroelectric power plants, this medium-difficulty hike offers a perfect blend of excitement and tranquility for nature enthusiasts. The park offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, making it the perfect spot to relax and connect with nature.

For more details about the trail, visit the official Visit Azores website. You can download the GPS track here (I use the Wikiloc app to open and navigate GPX files) and explore a detailed brochure with a hiking map here.
