About the Rocha do Navio Cable Car
Located on the north coast, in the municipality of Santana, the Rocha do Navio Cable Car offers visitors a journey with breathtaking panoramic views over the sea and the surrounding farmlands – the 'Fajãs'. This means of transport was originally built to assist local farmers in accessing their farmlands, with the journey taking approximately 5 minutes.
There is a small parking area near the cable car’s descent.
The cable car ride to Fajã takes about 5 minutes. The cable car is open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., except on weekends when it closes at 6 p.m.
The Rocha do Navio Cable Car provides access to the Rocha do Navio Nature Reserve. The name 'Rocha do Navio' comes from a Dutch shipwreck that occurred there in the 19th century.
