Here you can observe Pico da Sé (lava dome). This structure results from lava that is viscous and for this reason cannot flow. It accommodates itself in the conduit or lava vent, originating a high form of terrain and steep slopes. In the surrounding terrains, it is still possible to see a considerable number of chimneys and rock formations eroded by the nearby streams (Ribeira da Badanela and Fazenda da Cruz streams).
