Walk to the highest point on Terceira Island and be rewarded with spectacular views over the landscape and beyond.
HIGHLIGHTS:
* 4km medium level hike
* Enjoy views over the island and the ocean
* See emblematic species of flora native to the Azores
The Serra de Santa Barbara is a special location. Towering at 1,021 metres above sea level, this 4km hike takes you above the clouds to a mystical and precious environment. See emblematic species of native flora that thrive in humid and high altitude atmospheres as we slowly make our way to the summit.
The mountain is one of the largest and best preserved patches of natural vegetation in the Azores, above all with Sphagnum moss creating a fairy tale scene from a story book. Once the fog evaporates into thin air, watch how the blue ocean takes over the horizon and you´ll find yourself in a truly mystical place.
