  • Check the official PR2 trail notices before choosing a Fajãzinha or Poço walking day.

Arrival and connections

Fly to Aeroporto das Flores with a date-specific SATA Air Açores search. Atlânticoline lists Santa Cruz das Flores for ferry searches; choose your exact port and date.

Getting around

For the western waterfalls, the official PR2 trail runs from Lajedo through Fajãzinha toward Fajã Grande, with a detour to Poço da Ribeira do Ferreiro and views of Rocha dos Bordões. Treat it as a linear hike; if visiting only one sight, arrange road transport and the return separately. No sight-specific bus connection is verified here.

Tickets and payment

Atlânticoline offers booking and digital tickets for its ferries. Payment and ticket rules for local buses and individual venues need confirmation with each operator.

Food and local shopping

For a concrete food or shopping stop, start with Restaurante do Hotel Servi-Flor. Match its address to your day's route and ask the business about today's offer.

A story in the landscape

Flores’ waterfall country is also a protected living landscape. The official tourism timeline records UNESCO Biosphere Reserve recognition in 2009. On the path to Poço da Ribeira do Ferreiro, leave room to notice water, slopes and settlement together.
