Description
Begin your experience at Lagoa das Patas, a peaceful forest lake surrounded by lush vegetation, offering a calm and scenic setting ideal for a short walk and appreciation of the island’s natural beauty.
Continue to the Gruta do Natal, an impressive lava tube formed by ancient volcanic eruptions. Walk through its underground passages and discover fascinating volcanic formations that reveal the geological origins of the Azores.
Next, visit Furnas do Enxofre, an active volcanic area where fumaroles release sulfurous steam, providing a striking insight into the island’s geothermal activity and the powerful forces beneath the surface.
The highlight of the itinerary is Algar do Carvão, a rare volcanic chimney that allows visitors to descend into the interior of a volcano. This visit is subject to conditions, as access depends on weather, safety, and volcanic activity, ensuring a secure and responsible experience.
This itinerary offers an unforgettable exploration of Terceira Island’s volcanic heritage, combining tranquil nature, underground wonders, and dramatic geothermal landscapes.

Impecável
Reservamos meio sem expectativa e acabou sendo o melhor dia da viagem. Muito bom para uma primeira vez na cidade. Nunca teríamos chegado a Algar do Carvão por conta própria. Mandaram todas as informações por email no dia anterior, bem claro. Obrigado pelo dia que nos proporcionaram.

O melhor da viagem
Uma das melhores coisas que fizemos em Angra Do Heroismo. Comparei preços antes de reservar e essa era a melhor opção. Depois de um voo longo, é exatamente isso que você quer. Recomendaria a qualquer um que visite Angra Do Heroismo.

Delivers and more
The kind of thing you still remember years later. Nice touch including pick up included (selected hotels). The guide gave us restaurant tips that turned out to be spot on. Ideal if you want a day out of the city. If you are in Angra Do Heroismo, do not miss it.

Cumple lo que promete
Salió todo bien, con un detalle que menciono más abajo. El cueva “Gruta do Natal” nos resolvió el día. La naturaleza del lugar te desconecta por completo. Éramos varios y no alcanzaron los asientos juntos.

Not to be missed
Would do it again in a heartbeat. Terceira blew us away, we were not expecting that. Five well earned stars.

Altamente recomendable
Vale muchísimo más de lo que cuesta. El guía manejaba los dos idiomas del grupo sin problema. Es una forma muy práctica de ubicarte en la ciudad el primer día. Rota da Lava fue una sorpresa, no estaba en nuestros planes. No lo dudes, reservalo.
Highlights
- Explore the geological history of Terceira Island, with its volcanic landscapes, natural pools of basaltic lava, unique wines, and the rare visitable volcano Algar do Carvão
