Meeting and explanation of the tour. This is a tour where you can enjoy Terceira Island from North to South and from East to West with a local and at "island pace". We adapted the concept of “Slow Travel” and created the “Slow Tours”. The “Slow Tours” concept focuses on the relationship between our visitors and the local community, our culture, our food, our nature, and our music. We want to have an emotional impact on the present and future of our visitors while maintaining the sustainability of the community of Terceira Island and all that surrounds us.
Monte Brasil
Monte Brasil is an extinct volcano with formation in the sea and where we have a breathtaking view over the city of Angra do Heroísmo. We will have time to walk and appreciate the views, animals, and nature.
Vila de Sao Sebastiao
Step back in time in São Sebastião, home to one of the oldest churches on Terceira, dating back to 1455. Admire its historic architecture and ancient frescoes. Nearby, visit a traditional Império—a colorful chapel central to the Azorean Holy Spirit festivities—offering insight into the island’s rich cultural and religious heritage.
