Additional Information

We’ll ascend the island’s loftiest volcano, observing as the vegetation becomes increasingly sparse the higher we climb. At the peak, you’ll be treated to an unparalleled view of its breathtaking caldera and lake. The higher we stand, the clearer our view will be, especially on cloudless days.

As we descend the northern slope, you’ll gain entry to the island’s most tropical hot springs (ticket inclusive). The waterfall feeds warm water into the springs, set amidst lush green foliage, making it a truly exclusive experience.

Next, we’ll discover the charming ‘Cabrito’ waterfall and the tea plantation situated at the base of the north slope. You’ll have the opportunity to appreciate the finest Azorean tea, authentically brewed whilst immersing in the vista of extensive tea plantations.

Finally, we’ll set off to the south slope to explore the oldest town on the island, learning about its ancient stone church and rocky islet. What an extraordinary day on the island!
