Full-Day Faial da Terra + Nordeste from Ponta Delgada

Azores, Portugal

Futurismo Azores Whale Watching

Experience an exceptional full-day exploration of Faial da Terra, a charming village situated in the southeastern region of São Miguel Island. Immerse yourself in the local culture by wandering through picturesque landscapes, marvel at natural wonders like cascading waterfalls, and indulge in delectable culinary delights amidst breathtaking surroundings.



Faial da Terra, a diminuta aldeia que integra o concelho de Povoação, se encontra no sul-oeste da ilha de São Miguel. O percurso pedestre iniciará com um passeio leve e íngreme pela estrada em declive, conduzindo até ao vilarejo abandonado conhecido como Sanguinho. Este local, cujas ruínas são visíveis em toda a sua extensão, está sendo revitalizado para tornar-se num destino turístico promissor.

Continuando pelo terreno coberto por árvores densamente florestadas, com vários trechos ascendentes e descendentes entre vegetações paradisíacas, o caminho levará à bela cascata do Salto Do Prego. Nesta área isolada, próxima aos rios derramados, é possível mergulhar tranquilamente antes de degustar uma refeição deliciosa.

Após recuperar energia, o trajeto seguirá para várias vistas panorâmicas na costa nordestina. Entre estas, visitaremos as praias tranquilhas de Ponta do Sossego e Vista dos Barcos.

Estes cenários, reconhecidos como alguns dos mais famosos no Instagram, proporcionam uma paisagem verde exuberante, formada por montanhas altas cobertas de flores de todos os tons. Esta região é considerada a mais florida de todo o continente europeu, destacando-se pelas suas paisagens naturais vibrantes e refletidas nas águas cristalinas das cachoeiras.

A última parada do dia será a Parque das Cavernas de Ribeira dos Caldeirões, um parque natural repleto de quedas d'água. A maior delas tem uma altura superior a quarenta metros e permite ao visitante contemplar esta natureza vibrante e absorver suas vibrações.
