Few will go up here by bike, as the island is very small and it will not be easy to transport a bike there. Because of the limited cycling opportunities on this island, it is also better to choose another island in the Azores to go cycling.

This climb is the only real road on the island, running up to the crater of the volcano. It is often shrouded in fog, but with some luck you can see the crater and the lakes within it from above. Only on foot is it possible to descend into the crater.

Weinigen zullen hier op de fiets omhoog gaan, aangezien het eiland erg klein is en het niet makkelijk zal zijn om er een fiets heen te vervoeren. Vanwege de beperkte fietsmogelijkheden op dit eiland kun ook beter een ander eiland van de azoren kiezen om te gaan fietsen.

Deze klim is de enige echte weg van het eiland, die loopt tot aan de krater van de vulkaan. Vaak is deze in mist gehuld, maar met wat geluk kun je de krater en de daarin liggende meren van bovenaf zien. Alleen te voet is het mogelijk om in de krater af te dalen.
