Pico de Ana Ferreira, Mountain summit in Porto Santo, Portugal.
Pico de Ana Ferreira is a volcanic summit on the western side of Porto Santo island, rising 283 meters above sea level. The striking pentagonal basalt columns shape the mountain's appearance and give it a distinctive geological structure.
The summit formed through volcanic activity millions of years ago, when cooling magma created the columnar formations visible today. These patterns reflect the powerful volcanic history that shaped the island.
The mountain bears the name of Ana Ferreira, connected to a local story about the daughter of King João II seeking refuge in nearby caves.
The hike starts at the Organ Pipes formation and is easily reached by car, with parking available near Porto Santo Golf Club. The trail is relatively short, but sturdy footwear and water are recommended.
The mountain displays columnar rock formations resembling organ pipes, created through specific cooling processes of volcanic materials over geological time.
