Faial Island 4x4 Expedition

Información

Let your senses be overwhelmed by the vibrant nature that infuses the very being of Faial. Join us on a 4x4 expedition into the very heart of this abundant island.

HIGHLIGHTS:

* Visit the Botanical Garden of Faial and Caldeira crater
* Admire the volcanic landscape at Capelinhos Vulcano
* Travel by 4x4 to get to hard-to-reach places

Hop aboard our all-terrain vehicles to journey along coastal paths and inland landscapes in search of the most beautiful parts of the island. Experience and breathe in the Botanical Garden of Faial and the Caldeira, a huge crater that dominates the island, featuring flowers, plants and trees that shimmer under the shining sun.

Continue on to Capelinhos Vulcano and its Interpretation Centre, where you’ll feel as if you´ve landed on the moon. Brushstrokes of grey volcanic ash remain as a hangover from the volcanic eruption in 1957 and 1958, and at the abrupt cliffs of Capenlinho and Costado da Nau you can even see inside the volcanoes. A sequence of contrasting rocks, layers and contours play a game of surprising colours and textures. On the way back to your hotel, we visit the Varadouro.
