Pegadas de Dinossáurios de Salir do Porto (spo03S)

A circular walk on the headlands south of Salir do Porto

This is a short but rewarding walk. Most of the route is a level walk along the unpaved roads that run through the headlands between Salir do Porto and Boa Vista. However, the highlight of this route is the short steep loop on narrow paths that lead to the edge of the ocean and past several sets of dinosaur footprints. Even though the trail is named for the footprints the best part of the walk is the views of the ocean from the trail along the headlands.

This is a relatively short walk but we will take our time on the 1km loop along the footprints both for safety and to enjoy the views.

• The 1km loop to the dino footprints passes near the edge of a tall bluff. It is not recommended for those with vertigo.
• A small part of the trail is steep with loose rock. Sturdy shoes with good tread are recommended. If you wear flip-flops, you will either flip or flop.
• The trail can be slick when wet. If conditions are not good on the day of the walk we will meet at the meeting point below and do an alternate route from the same starting point.
