Overview

In this tour you have the chance to get to know Terceira Island hotspots... which are not just a few!
You’ll have the chance to be dazzled by breathtaking landscapes, like Serra do Cume patchwork blanket view; to explore the earth’s womb, by visiting volcanic cavities with unique features, just like Algar do Carvão*.
Besides the exuberant nature that is part of our identity and the agricultural fields dotted with the friendly cows, on this island, you can also find typical picturesque houses; enchanting bays, just like Salga bay, which witnessed heroic acts of local characters, such as Brianda Pereira.
Biscoitos swimming pools are, without a doubt, another point that you will not want to miss!
Terceira offers you a mix of nature, history, culture, sea and much more!
So that you can have a complete Terceira Island experience, we invite you to try a variety of typical dishes, including the magnificent 'Alcatra'. A delicacy prepared in a firewood oven. A true delight!
