This experience starts from the Church of Nossa Senhora de Belem in Chandor. This is not a walking trail and guests need transportation during this trail. When built originally in the 17th century, it was called Our Lady of Remedies. However, after it was reconstructed following a collapse in the mid 20th century, it was renamed to its current title.
