Step into the story of Terceira’s past
Step into the story of Terceira’s past
Located within the largest caldera in the Azores — the Caldeira Guilherme Moniz — this trail offers stunning views and raw natural beauty. Walk across ancient lava fields and follow the tracks carved by ox carts that once carried wood through this wild volcanic terrain.
Marvel at lush cedar forests, admire the silhouette of the Cinco Picos Volcano, and discover endemic vegetation like Azorean heather and scrub cedar.
To complete the journey, we visit Quinta dos Açores for a delicious cheese tasting — the perfect way to savour local tradition.
