About the Experience

Itinerary:

1. Vila do Porto:

We continue to the North Coast, in Lugar dos Anjos, where it stands out for its history and it was here that the first Portuguese disembarked. Highlights include the oldest chapel in the Azores, the statue of Christopher Columbus, its natural pools and its Blues festival, the oldest in Portugal.

Barreiro da Faneca, better known as the "red desert", a not-to-be-missed tourist spot, reveals one of the largest volcanic remains on the island.

Santa Barbara, with all its charm, rewards us with the Pico Alto mountain, where we can have a 360º view of the entire island.

Poço da Pedreira is one of the great tourist attractions on the island. An old deactivated area for the extraction of aggregates, it draws attention for its peculiar reddish color and the vertical formation of its walls.
