From the farm we ride through the village of Livramento on small roads between the old high stone walls. We continue into the lush green forest of “Mata Santa” (Holy Wood). Here among other things we find callas, eucalyptus, acacias and bay trees. In Santa Mata we pass the place where the guardian saint for the animals is resting.

This 2 or 3 hour ride will take you through the amazing Azorean landscape. The ride takes us on old roads, through villages and along fantastic stone walls, which are easily looked over from horseback. Passing pastures with milking cows up to what almost seems to be a rainforest “jungle”.
