Departure from Your Accommodation in Horta
Duration: 7 hours

We drive along normal roads as well as less known paths and shortcuts.

Full day tours begin in Horta, heading to the natural reserve of the Caldeira of Faial, always surrounded by the blue hydrangeas, from which the Island gets its “blue island” designation. It keeps going towards Ribeira das Cabras viewpoint, along Serra of Feteira. We then stop for a homemade-style lunch at Campo dos Sabores.

The afternoon proceeds with the descent to the Fajã in Praia do Norte, with its small beach and small stone houses, “adegas”, used for the local production of wine. Then, on to the Capelinhos Volcano. This is the most recent volcano in Europe, since it erupted in 1957 (continued into 1958). We can observe and enjoy its magnificent desert-like landscapes as well as make a visit to the Capelinhos Volcano Interpretation Centre.

Going back to Horta along the south coast of the Island, we make a quick stop at Varadouro to admire the amazing Morro of Castelo Branco, ending our day in Monte da Guia, already in Horta, where we can also admire one of the best views of the city and the Bay of Porto Pim.
