Fajã de Lopo Vaz

My parents, Steve and Barbara, arrived this week for a visit from Virginia, USA.

Our first hike was to Fajã de Lopo Vaz, seen here from the trail head.

Upon reaching the ocean, 1200 meters from the trail head, you stumble into a tropical microclimate planted with bananas and pineapples.

Amazing little fellow, pecking his way out into the world.

Proud mother hen being molested by curious Konswan.

We built a penthouse apartment for the little ones, Pintas, to keep the rats and wild cats from eating them....plus they get a great view!
