THE MOST NATURALLY WILD DESTINATION
If you’re looking for a destination far from the crowds, you won’t want to miss the most authentic group in the archipelago. It’s here that nature grows wild and serenity sets the pace. Discover the 4 dozen or so species of birds that sometimes occupy Corvo and take a walk to Lagoa do Caldeirão, a place you’ll never forget. If you’d still prefer to explore the island with the most amazing waterfall, then you should visit the Island of Flores.

Discover the volcanoes of Terceira, brave the radical sports of São Jorge or climb Portugal’s highest mountain, on Pico, and finish with a fine glass of wine from the island. Still have time? Then it’s natural that you should visit the Botanical Garden of Faial and try the famous Queijada cakes of Graciosa.
