Overview

Nordeste where it all began.

Going to meet the origins of the island where more than 4 million years ago the earth tore the sea towering majestically more than 1100 meters into the sky.

A tour where you can contemplate magnificent landscapes between ravines and waterfalls that refresh restless souls, along with a vegetation that explodes in a miscellany of colors in the most florid municipality of the world.

Surrounding the mountain of Pico da Vara that hides the Laurissilva forest, sanctuary of the only endemic terrestrial bird of the Azores, the Priolo.

A matchless journey to a unique land, made of peace and tranquility.
