If changes are necessary, alternative sites such as natural volcanic pools and forest parks will be offered. Our aim is to ensure you have the best experience possible!
- Monte Da Guia Walking Trail - Monte da Guia is a volcanic cone featuring two semicircular craters. From here, enjoy a stunning view of Porto Pim beach and the city of Horta.
- Miradouro de Nossa Senhora da Conceicao - At the Monument of Nossa Senhora da Conceição, you can view the historic center of Horta and its bay on one side, and Praia do Almoxarife on the other. Additionally, you can see the neighboring Pico Island and Portugal’s highest point, Pico Mountain. On clear days, São Jorge and Graciosa islands are also visible. This location offers an exceptional view!
- Flamengos - On the way to Caldeira do Faial, the road provides excellent views of the entire parish of Flamengos. This is the only parish on the island without direct sea access, surrounded by mountains and volcanoes.
- Caldeira - Situated in the island’s center, the Caldeira is Faial’s true highlight. It is one of the largest volcanic craters in the Azores, originating the island, with a diameter of about 2000 meters, a perimeter of 7000 meters, and a depth of 400 meters.
In this remarkable location, you can take a short walk, capture unique photos, or simply marvel at nature’s power.
- Praia do Almoxarife - Visit one of the island’s most beautiful beaches, offering views of Pico, S. Jorge, and Graciosa islands. It is the largest volcanic sand beach in Faial and one of the largest in the Azores.
Enjoy free time here. Options include having a drink at a local café, strolling along the beach or around the parish, or swimming in the warm waters.
Afterward, we will head to a local restaurant for lunch, away from typical tourist paths, for a more authentic experience.
- Miradouro Ponta Furada - A coastal site of great beauty where you can observe the interaction of basalt with the sea. The area features several caves and geological formations that are sure to impress.
- Porto do Comprido - Visit the Natural Pools of Porto do Comprido, formed by basalt rocks from the solidification of lava in the sea.
We will pass by the former whaling village, now mostly buried by sand and volcanic ash. In the 19th century, Porto do Comprido was a significant whaling station in the Azores archipelago.
-
Capelinhos - A site of remarkable volcanic beauty. The Capelinhos Volcano is a major tourist attraction in the Atlantic, especially in the Azores. Its landscape resembles a lunar environment. Enjoy the contrast of grey sands with the green mountains and the blue sky and sea.
In this extraordinary place, you have free time to explore. Options include visiting the Capelinhos Volcano Interpretation Centre, walking through the sands and volcanic ash, viewing the Capelinhos Lighthouse with its first floor still underground, or strolling on the Costado da Nau (the area where Faial Island ended before the eruption).
