Discover the natural beauty of Terceira Island on a scenic journey through some of its most breathtaking landscapes and coastal viewpoints.
Begin at Monte Brasil, a volcanic peninsula offering spectacular panoramic views over Angra do Heroísmo and the Atlantic Ocean. Continue to Fajã do Fisher (Serretinha), a peaceful coastal area where rugged cliffs meet the sea, showcasing the island’s raw volcanic character.
Travel along the coast to Baía da Salga, a bay rich in historical significance and natural beauty, known for its dramatic scenery and tranquil atmosphere. Nearby, Baía das Mós reveals a more secluded side of the island, with sweeping ocean views and striking lava formations.
The route then leads to Porto Martins, a charming seaside village famous for its natural swimming pools formed by volcanic rock — a perfect spot to appreciate local life and the Atlantic coastline.
From the coast, ascend to the Serra do Facho, in Praia da Vitória, where a stunning viewpoint offers a sweeping perspective over the city, its bay, and the surrounding countryside. The journey concludes at Serra do Cume, one of Terceira’s most iconic viewpoints, overlooking the island’s unique “patchwork” landscape of green fields divided by volcanic stone walls.
This itinerary combines dramatic coastlines, historic bays, and elevated viewpoints, offering an unforgettable experience of Terceira Island’s diverse and captivating scenery.
