Our guided tour begins promptly at 9:00 AM from the meeting point at Alto das Covas in Angra do Heroísmo, culminating at approximately 5:00 PM.

Starting our adventure, we proceed northward via Monte Brasil, enjoying scenic views along the way. Following our route, we traverse into the bustling heart of the city, past the Customs Courtyard, where the imposing statue of Vasco da Gama stands as a testament to the island's historical significance. Next, we reach the Monument to the Bull and Bull Ring, followed by the charming parishes of Ribeirinha, Feteira, and Porto Judeu. At Miradouro da Serretinha in Feteira, we marvel at the panoramic view of the goat islet, offering breathtaking vistas.

Continuing our journey, we explore Salga Natural Pools, a serene oasis amidst the lush landscape. As we move further inland, we arrive at the picturesque village of Vila de São Sebastião, home to the oldest church on the island and a dedicated chapel for the devotion of the Holy Spirit, known affectionately as "Império." This historic site offers a glimpse into the rich religious heritage of the region.

Our itinerary then transitions to the coastal town of Praia da Vitória, where we enjoy the tranquility of its setting. Afterward, we reach the summit of Serra do Facho, providing sweeping panoramas over the surrounding countryside. For those seeking respite during our trip, we pause briefly for lunch at a local restaurant, savoring a menu featuring traditional island cuisine, particularly renowned for its flavorful Alcatra (beef stew).

Following the high points of our journey, we conclude our exploration with a leisurely ascent up Serra do Cume, offering expansive vistas across the island. Should additional interest arise, we offer the option to explore the Algar do Carvão geological formation, situated centrally on Terceira Island, revealing a dramatic volcanic feature spanning 95 meters in depth. Accessible via stairs, this optional excursion requires a fee of €10 per person and takes approximately 30-45 minutes.

Finally, concluding our tour, we make our way back to the starting point, ensuring every visitor leaves with cherished memories of their unforgettable island adventure.
