Miradouro do Teleférico das Achadas da Cruz

On the edge of a great rocky escarpment, this lookout plunges onto Calhau das Achadas: the fajã washed by the Atlantic at the foot of the slope, with the photogenic pattern of its plots. The cable car that gives it its name was built to carry the harvest and let farmers reach these very fertile plots; it has become an attraction, sliding down the cliff face to the peaceful Fajã da Quebrada Nova, one of the fajãs of the Ponta do Pargo Protected Area.
