What you can expect

The Island of Terceira, in the Azores, is a true geological gem, shaped by the power of volcanoes over millennia. Every corner of the island reveals a fascinating story of creation and transformation, where natural forces still impressively mark the landscape. From the majestic volcanic calderas, which represent the primordial strength of the Earth, to the lava tubes winding across the island, there is a unique narrative that connects us to the essence of nature.

One of the island's highlights is the natural pools of Biscoitos, formed by basaltic lava that, over time, has been shaped by the sea’s waters, creating a surreal scene of crystal-clear waters framed by black stones. Here, visitors can also taste the unique wine produced on this volcanic land, where grapes grow under the influence of the mineral-rich soil, resulting in a distinctive flavor.

But the true magic of Terceira Island also lies beneath the surface. Exploring the Gruta do Natal and descending into the Algar do Carvão, one of the rare volcanoes in the world that is open to visitors, you will have the opportunity to dive into the Earth's depths and feel the geothermal energy pulsing through its core. These places are living witnesses to the volcanic activity that, over the centuries, has shaped the landscapes that now captivate those who visit.

Walking through the island's roads is a true immersion in its geological history, with views that wind between mountains, valleys, and volcanic plains, inviting the visitor to feel the primal force of nature. Terceira Island is not just a tourist destination but a journey to the Earth's beating heart, where the past and present meet in a setting of incomparable beauty and mystery
