Pico Volcanoes & Lakes | Full Day Experience

Overview

On Pico’s central plateau, there are more than 200 volcanic cones and a large number of lakes and ponds that represent rare biotopes. In this rather remote area, we can find a high level of biodiversity and still appreciate the variety of the endemic flora. We will first pick you up in Madalena for this incredible full-day adventure. During the tour, we will discover Pico’s “mysteries", and visit beautiful little lakes and several viewpoints. We will visit the Mountain House at 1,230m above sea level, which offers a wonderful panorama and provides interesting information about the nature reserve. In the afternoon, after a delightful picnic lunch, we will visit the Casa dos Vulcões. This fascinating center offers an immersive experience into the volcanic activity of the Azores. You can expect interactive exhibits, detailed explanations of volcanic formations, and the opportunity to learn about the region’s geological history.
