Introduction

From The Best Canyoning in Portugal:

One of the most emblematic routes in Flores, which ends in a vertical drop of over 100 metres to a platform overlooking the Poço do Bacalhau, in a setting of great beauty, dominated by the ocean and the green of the slopes that border Faja Grande, with a patchwork of terraced lands separated by grey stone walls. Access is simple at the beginning and exit. The transport can be with only one car, but it is simpler with two cars or a transfer. Careful to not miss R13.
