The interior of the Caldeira is one of the most important nature preservation sites in the Azores.

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.
Mount Pico Overnight Climb
Making the most demanding ascent, surrounded by the wild beauty of the volcanic crater and the tranquillity of the night sky, provides a feeling of fulfilment and a deep connection with nature that is indescribable.
This is not just an adventure, it's a journey of a lifetime.
