Your Itinerary
Miradouro de Nossa Senhora da Conceicao
Monument of Nossa Senhora da Conceição, from this place you can see the historic center of the city and the bay of Horta on one side and, on the other, Praia do Almoxarife. You can also see the neighboring Pico Island and the highest point in Portugal, Pico Mountain. On days without clouds, you can still see the island of São Jorge and Graciosa. Without a doubt, a place with a privileged view!
Flamengos
(Pass by)
On the route to Caldeira do Faial, we will take a road with excellent views of the entire parish of Flamengos. This is the only parish on the island that does not have direct access to the sea and is surrounded by mountains and volcanoes.
Caldeira
Located in the center of the island, the Caldeira is the true ex-libris of Faial. It is one of the largest volcanic craters in the Azores, and which was at the origin of the island, measuring around 2000 meters in diameter, 7000 meters in perimeter and 400 meters deep. In this impressive place you will have the possibility to take a short walk, take unique photos or simply observe what the force of nature can create.
Praia do Almoxarife
Visit to one of the most beautiful beaches on the island with 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. You will have free time at this location. You can choose to have a drink at a local cafe, take a walk along the beach, around the parish, or take a swim in our temperate waters. From here we will head for lunch at a local restaurant, away from the typical tourist routes so you can have a more authentic experience.
Miradouro Ponta Furada
Coastal site of great beauty where you can observe the contact of basalt with the sea. Here there are several caves and geological formations that will certainly please you.
Capelinhos
Place of great volcanic beauty. The Capelinhos Volcano is one of the biggest tourist attractions in the Atlantic, namely in the Azores. Its landscape takes us to a lunar environment. Enjoy the contrast between the gray of the sands with the green of the hills and the blue of the sky and the sea.
Porto do Comprido
Still in Capelinhos, we will visit the Natural Pools of Porto do Comprido. These pools were formed by basalt rocks, which resulted from the solidification of incandescent lava in the sea. We will pass by the whale village that once existed in this location but is now almost completely buried by volcanic sand and ash. In the 19th century, Porto do Comprido was one of the most important whaling stations in the Azores archipelago.
