|6-7-2019 | Hiking-Trekking-Walking with a Biologist around the Nature Reserve of the Caldeira
We had a great morning hiking the Circle Caldeira route in Faial Island.
The native and non-native flowers are at their maximum, and the insects are crazy. The rim is adorned by multiple flowers, with a dominance for yellow, mostly by Tolpis succulenta (as in the image below).
The sun was out most of the hike with only a few clouds making the landscape constantly changing and providing some valuable fresh breeze.
Here some images of our experience, starting with the photo finish!
