Get ready for one of the most rewarding views on Flores! Rocha dos Frades, or "Rock of the Monks," is a stunning geological formation with a bit of local lore—some say you can see the shapes of monks in the rock face. To get there, you can enjoy a beautiful hike that takes about an hour and a half from the middle of Lajes, with plenty of wild berries to snack on along the way. The path leads you to this incredible viewpoint, offering breathtaking panoramas of the island's lush interior and the vast blue ocean.
