Activity description

Discover the fascinating geological history of Terceira Island, a jewel of the Azores shaped by the force of volcanoes over millennia. Explore breathtaking landscapes, from majestic volcanic calderas to impressive lava tubes, which tell the story of this island's creation and transformation. Be enchanted by the natural pools of Biscoitos, formed by basaltic lava, and savor the wine grown in this volcanic soil. Dive deep into the Earth by descending to Algar do Carvão, one of the few visitable volcanoes in the world. Hike roads that wind through mountains and volcanic plains and feel the primordial energy of this piece of paradise. Terceira Island is not just a destination; it is a journey to the beating heart of the Earth.
