Comfortable trail, with just one initial big climb, nice sceneries
We got lost at the bifurcation where the "climb" starts, of the 3 paths to choose it is the least obvious one (looking like a very steep dried water flow)
So we cut short the northern part of this trail, until the northern main road, because of lack of time
And from there the descent parts have very nice sceneries and view points, specially if you explore outwards of the sand path throughout the vegetation paths nearby descending on the same direction
A shame the incredible amount of noise made by surrounding downhill motorcycles that day..
It lasted us about 4h (with the nothern road shortcut and breaks)

Information
Easy to follow
Scenery
Moderate
The path has some changes, cause it is blocked in some ways with gates by private property, so i had to adjust a lot to make the way to Lagoa dos Mosqueiros, and so then returning back. But is was really good.
