Pico de Ana Ferreira, Mountain summit in Porto Santo, Portugal.

The volcanic peak of Ana Ferreira rises 283 meters above sea level on the western side of Porto Santo island, featuring pentagonal rock columns.

The summit formation resulted from volcanic activities millions of years ago, when cooling magma created distinctive geological patterns visible today.

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.

Visitors can access the summit through a hiking trail starting at the Organ Pipes formation, with parking available near Porto Santo Golf Club.

The mountain displays columnar rock formations resembling organ pipes, created through specific cooling processes of volcanic materials over geological time.
