Faial Island - The recommended itinerary is the standard for this tour. However, adjustments may occur (in the duration and selection of places to visit), depending on the season and weather conditions. If any changes are necessary, alternative sites such as natural volcanic pools and forest parks will be offered.
Our aim is to ensure the best possible experience! - Miradouro de Nossa Senhora da Conceicao - From the Monument of Nossa Senhora da Conceição, visitors can view the historic center of the city and the bay of Horta on one side, and Praia do Almoxarife on the other. Additionally, the neighboring Pico Island and Portugal’s highest point, Pico Mountain, are visible. On clear days, the islands of São Jorge and Graciosa can also be seen. This location undoubtedly offers a privileged view!
- 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 approximately 2000 meters, a perimeter of 7000 meters, and a depth of 400 meters.
In this remarkable location, visitors can enjoy a short walk, capture unique photographs, or simply marvel at nature’s power.
- Flamengos - On the way to Caldeira do Faial, the route offers 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.
- Miradouro Ponta Furada - A coastal site of great beauty where the interaction of basalt with the sea can be observed. The area features several caves and geological formations that are sure to delight.
- Praia do Almoxarife - Visit one of the island’s most beautiful beaches, offering views of Pico, S. Jorge, and Graciosa islands. This is the largest volcanic sand beach in Faial and one of the largest in the Azores.
Visitors will have free time here. Options include enjoying a drink at a local café, strolling along the beach or around the parish, or swimming in the temperate waters.
Following this, lunch will be at a local restaurant, away from typical tourist paths, for a more authentic experience.
- Porto do Comprido - The Natural Pools of Porto do Comprido will be visited. These pools were formed by basalt rocks, resulting from the solidification of incandescent lava in the sea.
The tour will pass by the former whaling village, now almost entirely 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. Visitors can enjoy the contrast of grey sands with the green mountains and the blue sky and sea.
In this extraordinary location, free time is available for exploration. 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 along the Costado da Nau (the area where Faial Island ended before the eruption).
