You will also descend into the unique volcanic chimney of Algar do Carvao, one of the few visitable volcanoes in the world. Along the way, you will enjoy scenic drives through volcanic mountains and plains. The tour also includes a wine tasting made from grapes grown in volcanic soil. This tour is an ideal experience to see the true volcanic heart of Terceira Island.

Set out to discover the volcanic heart of Terceira Island, one of the most captivating islands of the Azores, where dramatic landscapes reveal a geological story shaped by the force of nature over millennia. Your journey begins amid the serene beauty of Lagoa das Patas, surrounded by lush scenery that reflects the island’s rich volcanic origins. As you travel along roads winding through volcanic mountains and open plains, the raw energy of this land becomes ever more present, offering sweeping views of calderas and rugged terrain forged by ancient eruptions. Continue towards the striking Natural Pools of Biscoitos, where dark basaltic lava has formed natural swimming pools along the coastline. These pools stand as powerful reminders of the island’s fiery beginnings, now harmoniously blended with the Atlantic Ocean.

In this unique setting, you will also experience the flavours born from volcanic soil with a wine tasting that celebrates Terceira’s distinctive wine tradition. The visit includes entrance to the Wine Museum, where you can gain deeper insight into the island’s winemaking heritage and the resilience of vines grown in lava-formed vineyards. The exploration of Terceira’s underground wonders unfolds at Gruta do Natal, an extraordinary lava tube that allows you to walk through the inner passages carved by flowing magma. You then descend into Algar do Carvão, one of the few visitable volcanoes in the world, where the island’s geological history is revealed from within. Throughout the journey, Terceira reveals itself not merely as a destination, but as a profound encounter with the Earth’s living, breathing core.
