[edit] Geography
The stream begins just northeast of the mountaintop and the caldera of Pico da Cruz. It flows into a cliffy valley and through the farmlands of the valley featuring banana and pineapple plantations, corn and other common crops. It flows into a small village filled with palm trees. For rest of the ribeira's length flows within the local road and within the cultivated lands together with the mountain slopes. The ribeira empties into the Atlantic Ocean, northeast of the road numbered the LBRA1 linking Ribeira Grande and Janela tens of metres northeast.
Rarely any streams empties into the Ribeira da Janela except for in the mountains.
