WI_afc022.jpg

View along the comparatively sunny S coast of Flores in W direction. Landslides from the cliffs have formed numerous platform-like features, such as the Fajã de Lopo Vaz shown in the lower right portion of this picture. It is used for growing various crops, even bananas. However, the area is not permanently inhabited due to difficult access.
