PR 8 - Vereda da Ponta de São Lourenço, amazing walk. We would recommend to start really early to catch morning sun. Afterwards you can go for a swim at Prainha, a hidden sandy beach.

Curral Das Freiras
Curral das Freiras or Nuns Valley viewpoint
Not too difficult to walk, defined path and beautiful waterfall. As a bonus you can turn to Lagoa do Vento which is a bit more adventurous but once you reach a beautiful waterfall and lagoon where you can swim you realize that a steep descent was so worth it !
