About this activity
Explore the wildest and most authentic side of Pico in an experience centered on nature, volcanic landscapes, and the tranquility of the island's interior. This route leads to the Central Plateau, one of the most pristine areas of the Azores, where the altitude reveals a landscape dominated by endemic vegetation, volcanic cones, and a unique atmosphere.
The highlight of the experience is the Lagoa do Capitão and Lagoa da Seca — places of mystical beauty, surrounded by pure nature, where the silence and the landscape create an unforgettable atmosphere, with privileged views of Pico Mountain and neighboring islands.
The experience also includes a brief encounter with the cultural landscape of the UNESCO vineyards, before heading to the coast. Here, the traditional villages of Cachorro, Lajido, and Arcos reveal the historical connection between man, stone, and the ocean, with their typical houses and striking views
