Pico Castelo really highlights the fire from which this island was born. Its iconic cone shape looms over the island but thankfully the fire went out for good twelve million years ago.

This peak has 9km of trails surrounding it. They range from wooded paths to stone steps and terraces and you can experience all of these on this walk. We start from the cannon - itself a beautiful viewing point - and gently climb to the forest house on the summit before coming back down by one of the various other routes.
