The Sanguinho trail in São Miguel, Azores, is a popular hiking route that leads to the ghost village of Sanguinho and the picturesque Salto do Prego waterfall. The 4.5 km circular trail offers stunning natural landscapes and the option to extend the hike to the Salto do Cagarrão waterfall for a more challenging adventure. With well-marked paths, lush forests, and opportunities for a refreshing swim in the summer, the Sanguinho trail is a must-visit for nature lovers looking for a memorable outdoor experience in the Azores.

Before setting off on your hike, be sure to check the weather and cloud conditions via the local webcam. For more details about the trail, visit the official Visit Azores website.
