Yep is for free

Hi Nitin, we were really lazy about it - haha, and followed the sign for Salto do Cabrito, there is a signposted left turn off the road and shortly after you will probably see half a dozen or so cars parked. But you will notice there is a road continues down the hill from where the cars are parked. You can take the road down almost to the waterfall itself. It is steep and winding but easily drivable if you go slowly. At the bottom is another car park and from there it is only a few metres to the waterfall itself. As I say, we felt really lazy driving, but looking at the hard work some folks were having walking back up the winding steep road, we were quite glad we did!!!

Hi Hallette....there are better and nicer plaçe to visit in São Miguel than Salto do Cabrito. If you're looking for a hike and a much fuller waterfall then head on to Sanginho (Salto do Prego). However, if you have not been to São Miguel before, you must go to Sete Cidades and Lagoa do Canário. Enjoy!

You can drive all the way down. Just follow the signs for it and keep going. We parked at the top and walked and then realized we could have driven down. Its worth the trip. We loved swimming under the waterfall. And the hike up to and behind the water fall is worth doing.. your mother would not do well with that however. Its quite intense and beautiful.

Als je op deze manier nog iets wil ondernemen op een laatste dag, heb ik maar 1 advies...... Niet(s) meer doen. Voor mooie dingen moet je de tijd nemen en niet van oh ok we hebben nog tijd (misschien) dat kunnen we nog wel gaan doen.....

Hi. The weather in the Azores is alittle unpredictable at a long term, but usually we have good weather, nice temperature, but bring some warm clothes, just in case... About activities there are several companies specialized on activities like fishing and whale/dolphin watching or even hikes and canyoning... just try to google "Azores fishing" or "Azores whale watching" and you'll have access to a lot of information, most of it in English. I hope this was helpful! ;-)

Hi there. First of all, and as an Azorian, let me congratulate you on your great choice on coming to the Azores! :-D About your question, yes. As the other persons here said, it is possible to drive right to the waterfall. However it is advised to drive VERY slowly because the path is a little bit narrow and a bit steep, but perfectly doable. If you have other issues or questions about "my" island, feel free to contact me. No strings attached or second intentions. :-)

Procure as indicações para ir para a Caldeira Velha, é dos locais mais conhecidos e recomendados da Ilha de São Miguel. Ao sair da Caldeira Velha vira à esquerda e cerca de dois quilómetros depois terá uma indicação para a esquerda "Salto do Cabrito"... Terá de seguir as indicações, pode ir de carro (com cuidado) ou a pé...
