Discover the natural beauty of Terceira Island on a scenic journey through some of its most breathtaking landscapes and coastal viewpoints.
Start at Monte Brasil, a volcanic peninsula offering spectacular panoramic views over Angra do Heroísmo and the Atlantic Ocean. Continue to Fajã do Fischer (Serretinha), a tranquil coastal area where rugged cliffs meet the sea, revealing the island's most authentic volcanic character.
Follow the coast to Baía da Salga, a cove rich in historical significance and natural beauty, known for its dramatic landscape and serene atmosphere. Nearby, Baía das Mós reveals a more secluded side of the island, with sweeping views of the ocean and impressive lava formations.
The route then leads to Porto Martins, a picturesque seaside village famous for its natural pools formed by volcanic rock—a perfect place to enjoy local life and the Atlantic coast.
From the coastal area, climb up to Serra do Facho, in Praia da Vitória, where a stunning viewpoint offers a panoramic view of the city, its bay, and the surrounding landscape. The trip ends at Serra do Cume, one of Terceira's most iconic viewpoints, overlooking the unique “patchwork” landscape of green fields bordered by
volcanic stone walls.
This itinerary combines dramatic coastlines, historic bays, and elevated viewpoints, providing an unforgettable experience of the diversity and natural charm of Terceira Island.
