The program we outlined for this day leads us to discover the geological origin of Terceira Island. Let's learn how volcanoes shaped the landscape and way of life of its people. We began by climbing Mount Brazil, which, like the rest of the island, came from the depths of the sea to form one of the best views of the city of Angra and its bay to the east and Fanal Bay on the coast. West Here we also have a glimpse of the magnificent history of this island, which will certainly be present in every corner of Terceira Island.
As we approached the north, we arrived at the lava fields that the places shaped for the planting of vineyards. After a visit to the bathing area of Biscoitos, and after lunch in this area, we will take a stroll along the basalt walls that protect the vineyards. The visit to this part of the island is completed with the wine museum. On the way to Angra do Heroísmo, passing through the interior of the island: first visit Furna do Enxofre, to admire the phenomena of secondary volcanism to the surface, followed by a visit to the magnificent Algar do Carvão. After this adventure, it is time to taste some flavors and products of Terceira, during a visit to Quinta dos Açores. Return to hotel and end of activity.
