Experience the diversity of Terceira Island on a journey that blends stunning viewpoints, historical landmarks, volcanic wonders, and coastal beauty.
Begin at Monte Brasil, a volcanic peninsula offering panoramic views over Angra do Heroísmo and the Atlantic Ocean. Continue to the Miradouro da Serretinha, where dramatic coastal cliffs provide breathtaking vistas of the island’s rugged shoreline.
Travel along the coast to Baía da Salga, a bay rich in history and natural charm, followed by a visit to the Church of São Sebastião, one of the oldest churches in the Azores, reflecting the island’s deep cultural and religious heritage.
Ascend to the Serra do Cume Viewpoint, one of Terceira’s most iconic landscapes, famous for its patchwork of green fields bordered by volcanic stone walls. From here, continue to Praia da Vitória, where you can enjoy views over the bay and experience the relaxed atmosphere of this seaside town.
Next, stop at the Serra do Facho Viewpoint, which offers sweeping panoramic views of Praia da Vitória and the surrounding coastline. The journey then leads to Algar do Carvão, a remarkable volcanic chimney that allows visitors to descend into the interior of a volcano (visit subject to conditions).
Conclude the itinerary at the Natural Swimming Pools of Biscoitos, formed by volcanic rock and filled with crystal-clear Atlantic waters, providing a perfect setting to appreciate the island’s unique coastal landscape.
