About the Experience

Full-Day jeep tour expeditions last approximately 7 hours. It begins in Horta, heading to the village of Flamengos to visit the Botanical Garden of the Island, in which we can enjoy a small but beautiful sample of endemic species of the Azores.

Next, we head up to the Natural Reserve of the Caldeira of Faial, always surrounded by the blue hydrangeas, from which the Island gets it´s “blue island” designation. It keeps going towards Ribeira das Cabras viewpoint, along Serra of Feteira. We then stop for a homemade style meal lunch at Campo dos Sabores.

The afternoon proceeds with the descent to the Fajã in Praia do Norte, with its small beach and small stone houses, “adegas”, used for the local production of wine. Then, on to the Capelinhos Volcano. This is the most recent volcano in Europe since it erupted in 1957 (continued into 1958). We can observe and enjoy it´s magnificent desert-like landscapes as well as make a visit to the Capelinhos Volcano Interpretation Centre.

Starting our way back to Horta along the south coast of the Island, we still make a quick stop at Varadouro to admire the amazing Morro of Castelo Branco, ending our day in Monte da Guia, already in Horta, where we can also admire one of the best views of the city and the Bay of Porto Pim.
