Abrigo da Cascata

Location

Located in the heart of the Fajãs de São Jorge Biosphere Nature Reserve, this peaceful refuge offers a privileged spot to witness the most breathtaking sunsets.

Fajã do Cavalete was primarily dedicated to vine cultivation. Its name originates from the traditional method of placing wine barrels on trestles aboard the boats that once set sail from this spot in ancient times.

We are delighted to arrange your reception or schedule activities. Please feel free to contact our team.
