The walk needs great care in wet conditions, but there is no mortal danger, and the rewards are incredible. At some points its like being in the Himalaya. At the end of the walk do not miss the sirloin spit at the restaurant in Portela . Do not be scared, just careful. Steffen I have done this -very spectacular- walk at least six times.

I did try another walk between monte and camacha but turn back because i came across the same problem of unprotected sheer drops and later i found out the previous day two women fell one of which died. I would like point out i did read about these walks in several guide books before going on them and both times they said the walks were safe. just be very careful and keep your children away from these dangerous walks. richard i did this walk in july 2008 ….if this was in the uk it would be closed off ……it is one of the most dangerous walks i have ever been on with sheer drops being protected by a single wire being supported by rusted out angle iron posts.
