10 Volcanoes

The 10 Volcanoes Trail is a full-day activity with 21km, and it’s the most immersive hike on Faial. During the activity, we will see a lot of the island. The hike includes the two most famous points of interest in Faial: Caldeira, and Capelinhos Volcano. Since we’ll cross various types of landscapes in between, we will have the opportunity to learn about the Azores native forest and its endemic species. We will start near the island’s highest point and finish at sea level. The geological interpretation of the island marks the experience. The 10 Volcanoes Trail travels west along Faial’s youngest volcanic system.
