Itinerário
The Guide Mountain is a volcanic cone with two semicircular craters. From this place you will have a privileged view of the beach of Porto Pim and the city of Horta.
Monument of Nossa Senhora da Conceição, from this place you can see the historic center of the city and the bay of Horta on one side and, on the other, Praia do Almoxarife. You can also see the neighboring Pico Island and the highest point in Portugal, Pico Mountain. On days without clouds, you can still see the island of São Jorge and Graciosa. Without a doubt, a place with a privileged view!
On the route to Caldeira do Faial we will take a road with excellent views of the entire parish of Flamengos. This is the only parish on the island that has no sea around it and is surrounded by mountains and volcanoes.
Located in the center of the island, Caldeira is the true ex-libris of Faial. It is one of the largest volcanic craters in the Azores, which was at the origin of the island, measuring about 2000 meters in diameter, seven kilometers in perimeter and 400 meters in depth.
Site of great volcanic beauty. It is one of the biggest tourist attractions of the Atlantic, namely the Azores. Its landscape reminds us of a lunar environment. Enjoy the contrast of the gray of the sands with the green of the hills and the blue of the sky and the sea.

About Faial Island
Faial is a volcanic island in the central Azores, called the Blue Island for its hydrangeas, with a sailors' harbour at Horta and a vast caldera.
Faial is one of the nine Azorean islands, a green volcanic island of pastures and hedges of hydrangeas, which flower blue in summer. Horta, the island's port town, is a favourite stop for yachts crossing the Atlantic, and the harbour wall is covered in hundreds of paintings left by sailors for luck. The town has a pleasant waterfront, old churches and a fort.
Top-ranked sights in Faial Island: Capelinhos, Morro de Castelo Branco.
