• Morro de Castelo Branco - This iconic white volcanic rock formation is a notable landmark that many visitors notice just before their flight lands.
• Piscinas Naturais do Varadouro - Varadouro, once a summer retreat for Horta’s affluent families, is now a residential area renowned for its popular natural swimming pools.
• Capelinhos - Located at Faial’s western edge, the Capelinhos volcano is a testament to the Azores’ active volcanism. It emerged from an eruption that spanned from September 1957 to October 1958, marking the most recent land-based eruption in the Azores.
• Caldeira - The Caldeira do Cabeço Gordo is a prominent feature of Faial. Positioned centrally on the island, its 2-kilometer diameter and 400-meter depth make it one of the Azores’ most striking craters.

This brief expedition, spanning roughly 3-4 hours, acquaints you with the key attractions of the island. It’s an ideal choice for those on a fleeting visit to Faial who don’t want their experience to lack anything. The journey takes you across the southern shoreline, from Horta to the Capelinhos volcano, with several pauses along the route. The return trip weaves through a less-traveled road, elevated above the hamlets. Depending on meteorological factors, there will be either a stop at the Caldeira or at some scenic overlooks above Horta.
