Fajã da Caldeira do Santo Cristo

Of all the fajãs – fertile places due to the microclimate created by their rugged location – Fajã da Caldeira do Santo Cristo is probably the most famous. This is primarily due to the fact that it is the only place in the Azores where clams can be found. It also includes a lagoon and an underwater cave. Surfers also know it as one of the best places to practice the sport. Access is on foot or by motorcycle, via two nature trails.
