PR 6.3 - Vereda da Lagoa do Vento

The Lagoa do Vento trail (PR 6.3) is best enjoyed as part of a round-trip hike combined with the scenic Levada do Alecrim, creating a loop of about 6.4 km with roughly 330 m of elevation gain. Starting near the Rabaçal area, the route leads through lush laurel forest to the peaceful lagoon above the Risco waterfall, then continues along Levada do Alecrim before returning to the starting point. The hike takes 2.5–3 hours at a relaxed pace, with a perfect spot to finish at the Rabaçal Nature Café for a drink or snack before heading back.
