Cara do Índio crosses Corvo from the Caldeirão viewpoint to Vila do Corvo. It begins at the highest point of the road and heads south, providing a broad view of the island before leaving asphalt. Beside the Forestry House, the route enters a dirt lane, crosses Trevo stream and approaches reservoirs built to retain water for the population. The Baldio area combines communal use, pasture and dry-stone walls.
The path circles the Coroínha cone and Pingas cliff, with views toward Flores in clear weather. It continues descending through fields to the basalt formation weathered into the profile known as Cara do Índio. From here, a steeper path crosses heather and Azorean juniper, passes old shelters cut into rock and opens a viewpoint over the village.
After crossing the road, the route enters the historic centre of Vila do Corvo. Narrow streets and compact houses lead toward traditional windmills and Praia da Areia, where the crossing ends. Its medium grade combines a long descent, wet areas and rural ground. In about ten kilometres, the trail links volcanic interior, water management, farming landscape and coastal heritage on the smallest Azorean island.
