Itinerary
1
Horta
The suggested itinerary is the normal for this tour. However, there may be changes (in the duration of the places to visit and the places to visit), taking into account the season of the year and the state of the weather. In case we have to change any of the places to visit, we will show others, such as natural volcanic pools, forest parks, among others. Our goal is to provide you with the best possible experience!
2
Monte Da Guia Walking Trail
The Guide Mountain is a volcanic cone with two semicircular craters. From this place you will have a privileged view of the beach of Porto Pim and the city of Horta.
3
Miradouro de Nossa Senhora da Conceicao
Monument of Nossa Senhora da Conceição, from this place you can see the historic center of the city and the bay of Horta on one side and, on the other, Praia do Almoxarife. You can also see the neighboring Pico Island and the highest point in Portugal, Pico Mountain. On days without clouds, you can still see the island of São Jorge and Graciosa. Without a doubt, a place with a privileged view!
4
Praia do Almoxarife
Visit to one of the most beautiful beaches on the island overlooking the island of Pico, S. Jorge and Graciosa. This is the largest volcanic sand beach in Faial and one of the largest in the Azores.
5
Flamengos Pass by
On the route to Caldeira do Faial we will travel along a road with excellent views of the entire parish of Flamengos. This is the only parish on the island that has no sea around it and is surrounded by mountains and volcanoes.
6
Caldeira
Located in the center of the island, Caldeira is the real ex-libris of Faial. It is a huge crater of an extinct volcano that was at the origin of the island, about 2000 meters in diameter, 400 meters deep and seven kilometers in perimeter.
7
Capelinhos
Place of great volcanic beauty. It is one of the biggest tourist attractions in the Atlantic, particularly the Azores. Its landscape takes us to a lunar environment. Enjoy the contrast between the gray of the sands and the green of the mountains and the blue of the sky and sea.
8
We will visit the Natural Pools of Porto do Comprido. These pools were formed by basaltic rocks, which resulted from the solidification of incandescent lava in the sea.
