A 34-year-old Polish tourist died yesterday after falling approximately 30 metres near the Angels Cascade in Ponto do Sol.
The initial alert was raised at 11 am, and by 1 pm, rescue teams from the Mixed Firefighters of Ribeira Brava and Ponta do Sol, an ambulance, and a support car were at the scene, but nothing could be done.
The Angels Cascade is a popular tourist attraction, although the road is closed due to the danger of landslides and rock falls, especially in winter.
Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
