OVERVIEW
A cross-section of Atlantic volcanism
Four islands, four volcanic stories. We follow the Azores from young caldera volcanoes to the Earth’s newest land,
and see how people have lived beside them for centuries.
São Miguel
Caldera volcanoes, crater lakes and living geothermal fields.
Terceira
A lava tube, steaming fumaroles and the UNESCO port of Angra.
Faial
Capelinhos, the 1957–58 eruption that added new land to the island.
Pico
Portugal’s highest mountain, lava vineyards and whaling heritage.
Welcome and an evening introduction to the tectonics of the Azores.
Caldera viewpoints, twin lakes and Mosteiros on the coast.
Fumaroles, hot springs and a meal cooked in volcanic ground.
Crater lake and Caldeira Velha, then a flight to Terceira and an evening in Angra do Heroísmo.
Algar do Carvão, Gruta do Natal, Furnas do Enxofre and lava pools at Biscoitos.
Morning flight, then the Capelinhos eruption site and its underground interpretation centre.
Caldeira do Faial and Monte da Guia, then the ferry to Madalena.
Summit climb with a guide, weather permitting.
A back-up summit day, or Gruta das Torres and the lava vineyards of Lajido.
Flight home via Lisbon.
