Around Caldeira Trail – Private Tour in Faial
The trail around the rim of Caldeira is the highest trail on Faial.

The interior of the Caldeira is one of the most important nature preservation sites in the Azores.
Extreme Waterfalls Experience with Picnic

Private Half-Day Hike Around the Caldeira
Hiking around the Caldeira is an experience you should not miss out if you visit Faial. This collapsed volcanic cone is one of the main landmarks of Faial. With 2 km in diameter it is an impressive reminder of the force of nature. The trail around the perimeter is about 7 km long and can be done in two to three hours. The hike around the Caldeira is physically easy, but those suffering from vertigo might find a couple of well secured passages a bit of a challenge. This hike is only worthwhile to be done if the weather is clear and the wind is not too strong. You will be rewarded with stunning views of the neighbouring islands and the untouched nature.
Moon House – Flores
The "House of the Moon" is a stone house with direct access to the sea with a view west to the ocean and the sunset and north to the mountains. All these views can be enjoyed from the garden or balcony.
