Quatro Fábricas Da Luz Park is a captivating hiking trail that takes you through the ruins of electricity factories, serene waterfalls, refreshing pools, and an intriguing museum. The trail winds its way down to the picturesque Praia shore, offering stunning views and unique experiences along the way. Explore the reservoir, impressive viaducts, hidden waterfalls, and historic artifacts as you immerse yourself in this fascinating outdoor adventure. With a mix of nature, history, and exploration, Quatro Fábricas Da Luz Park promises a fun and enriching experience for hikers of all levels. So lace up your hiking shoes and get ready for an unforgettable journey through this hidden gem in Agua de Alto!

Before setting off on your hike, be sure to check the weather and cloud conditions via the local webcam. 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.
