I parked by a little dumpster on the paved road and hiked the dirt road. Google maps was telling me to drive up the dirt road which looked unsafe. The part I walked was short and a bit steep but not difficult at all. There were barking dogs at the house by the start of the dirt road but they didn't come over. The little hike was beautiful. It's windy at the top so bring a jacket.
The view is nice, the access horrible, and the swing dangerous.
Directions said to drive up, and it was incorrect. But we walked the rest of the way and it was great!
Subimos um pouco chegando ali as vistas são incriveis pelo que valeu a pena Já tinha lido alguns comentários antes de subir ali em que falavam de haver muito lixo não foi o caso pois estava tudo limpo o baloiço faz as honras do local pois ao sentarmos um pouco e balançando ficamos com uma sensação única e agradável pois tudo que vemos de frente é incrível ⛰️💚 não muito aconselhável para pessoas com cadeiras de rodas ou deficiência em caminhar visto que o caminho desde a estrada donde circulam os carros até ao local ainda são uns 100 metros com terra batida pedras e inclinado somente em veículos (4x4)
Fácil acesso. Vistas deslumbrantes sobre o Vale do Lima.
