    Nossa Senhora da Conceicao Viewpoint (15 minutes)


    From this location you can see the city's historic center and Horta bay on one side and Almoxarife Beach on the other. 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 (passes through)


     On the route to Caldeira do Faial we will travel along 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. Find out why it's called Flamengos!


    Caldeira do Faial Natural Reserve (30 minutes)


    Located in the middle of the island, Caldeira is the true ex-libris of Faial. It is one of the largest volcanic craters in the Azores, and 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.


    Capelinhos volcano (40 minutes)


    Place of great volcanic beauty. The Capelinhos Volcano is one of the biggest tourist attractions in the Atlantic, particularly in the Azores. Its landscape takes us to a lunar environment. Enjoy the contrast between the gray of the sands and the green of the hills and the blue of the sky and sea.

Fantastic Tour and Guide

Ramiro was a fantastic guide and it was a pleasure to spend the day with him. The tour was well organized, tailored to the group's interests and took the weather into consideration. Ramiro was very knowledgeable and friendly and I suggest you select him as your guide for Faial Island.

A great tour with Ramiro

Ramiro was a friendly, knowledgeable and professional tour guide. He also had the ability to gauge what my husband and I were interested in and physically able to do. He shared so much with us in such a short amount of time. He is an excellent driver and the van was in excellent condition. Thank you Ramiro for a great day. We had such a short time on the island but we saw so much thanks to you and the great weather.

5 stars
