The valley of Queimadas is full of history and gives a good impression of the agricultural landscapes. In the lower parts there is irrigated land where sugar cane grows and is processed in bull-driven sugar mills trapiche and the open fire distillation of white rum. On the ground of the valley grow yams, mango-trees and breadfruit trees. Passing the traditional dwellings of Queimadas de Cima, dry land agriculture of maize, potatoes and sweet potatoes and pastureland on steep slopes accompany one's way over a pass and later down into the valley of Rª Brava and Todj. Starting point is the church of Queimadas [QUEIM9] (110m) (shop, phone). At the bifurcation a few meters downhill [QUEIMA], one is led into the valley ê which passes a slight ridge before going down and crossing the riverbed.
