FARMER FOR A DAY

Permaculture is the way

This package of land-based activities was created so that you can discover not only the endemic flora of the Azores but also other species that grow in this volcanic soil

We’ll start with a hike in the northern part of the island, ending with a swim at a wild beach. After lunch, we’ll have the opportunity to take a guided tour of the island’s first permaculture farm, Myrica Faial.

During the afternoon, you’ll have the unique opportunity to observe, explore, and be part of the farm’s many tasks (digging, planting, weeding) …, and we’ll end the day lying on a hammock with a glass of wine or herbal tea, looking out over the sea horizon and listening to the melody of the countryside. It’s a unique tour of the island and certainly unforgettable!

Nature gives us the opportunity to admire the most original forms dyed in exuberant colours. On our Permaculture tour, you’ll have the chance to learn more about this alternative technique that respects nature and all its inhabitants. You’ll learn more about the potential of this volcanic soil planted in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean, which helps grow the most incredible species you can think of. Come with us and lose yourself in this diversity of Permaculture knowledge.
