The opposite stele can only be reached via an exposed area. Be careful: the path is slippery and you must be careful not to be afraid of heights. The view from the other side is phenomenal, but the path to get there is extremely dangerous. The “Buraco de São Pedro” is believed to be a lava tube or lava field collapse caused by volcanic activity. Such formations are formed when underground lava flows cool and retreat, causing the surface to collapse and form caves or holes.
