From Angra do Heroísmo, Terceira Island Full-Day Tour

Serra Do Cume, Sao miguel island, Portugal

VADIVAN AZORES - TRANSPORTES E TURISMO

Embark on an expedition to explore the breathtaking vistas, charming villages, and majestic volcanoes of the Terceira Island.



To commence the tour, begin with a visit to Monte Brasil, where one may observe the Fortaleza de São João Baptista, constructed by the Spaniards post their arrival in 1583. Admire the breathtaking vistas of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the City of Angra do Heroísmo.

Proceed southward from Terceira Island towards the villages of Ribeirinha, Feteira, and São Sebastião. Marvel at picturesque natural features like Ilhéus das Cabras and Baía da Salga, concluding with a pilgrimage to the island’s oldest ecclesiastical edifice.

Subsequently, make a detour to Serra do Cume, situated within Terceira's largest caldera. Here, gaze upon the expansive agricultural landscapes scattered across the island. Following this, indulge in a leisurely meal at the charming town of Praia da Vitória.

In the afternoon, traverse the northern coastline of the island and explore the Biscoitos Natural Swimming Pools. Consider a supplementary excursion to Algar do Carvão, an abandoned volcanic crater, which would necessitate approximately 30-40 minutes of exploration (tickets are non-included).

Upon returning to your accommodation, do not overlook the splendorous scenery of the central portion of the island. This region offers opportunities to witness the indigenous bullfighting in its pristine environment.
