Poço da Pedreira


SMA 3 >

“Poço da Pedreira” is an abandoned quarry, where old and intensively weathered basaltic scoria was exploited. Given its age and weathering the tephra are agglutinated and red-colored, what explains the steeply slopes of the quarry front and the name “Pico Vermelho” (Red Peak) for the scoria cone.
