- in south-east, Pico das Torres preceding Pico do Arieiro; on the right of this one, Pico do Cidrão (1 802 m);
- in the south and the west, the circus of Curral das Freiras and the procession of Ribeira back Socorridos; above, Pico Grande (1 657 m) which dominates Pico das Torrinhas (“Peak of the turrets”) with the characteristic silhouette; Pico Casado in the blackcurrant shape; with far, the plate of Paúl da Serra;
- in the North-West, the crater of Caldeirão do Inferno (“Cauldron of the Hell”);
- in north, valleys of the northern coast separated by long hills;
- in the North-East, plates of São Jorge and Santana.
