Descent to Caldeira do Faial - The Perfect Adventure

The ascent to the mountain of Pico and the descent to the Caldeira do Faial are two adventures that complement each other. These activities are recommended for true nature lovers. Enter this exclusive trail inside the largest volcanic crater on the island of Faial. On this descent of about 400 meters (vertically), you will find the vegetation that covered the island before its settlement and feel what it is like to be in the center of one of the largest craters in the Azores. It is undoubtedly a unique experience, not to be missed during your visit to Faial. Please read the "Necessary information for travelers" section.

- Important: bring at least 1 liter of water and a small snack for when we reach the base of the Caldeira. It is advisable to wear clothing that covers your arms and legs due to the presence of brambles at the base of the crater.
