The community itself is divided into areas located within the Ribeirinha river-valley, and portions that are situated on several mountains and escarpments overlooking the same: Ribeirinha and Espalhafatos. Administratively, Riberinha is divided by borders along "Lomba Grande" (543 metres) and "Lomba da Ribeira" (209 metres) oriented west to east (both covered with many endemic species of plants, shrubs and trees natural to the Azores). Towards the interior, the plateau "Trás-da-Serra" is a feature of volcanic origins, as well as a protected countryside comprising many farmlands and diverse natural views.
