It’s a fact: the best way to get to know the Azores is on foot. Almost everything that’s good about the islands can be found while walking:
HIKING IN FAIAL
Various options to choose from depending on your level and interests
Cross paths with locals who are farming or tidying up the garden, or, if it’s harvest time, making wine.
You can hear and identify the birds that live in the archipelago, and you may come across Europe’s smallest bird, the Estrelinha (Regulus regulus).
We can climb volcanoes and descend craters while talking about the formation of the islands and their geological aspects.
And if you’re in the right place at the right time, you might even be invited to lunch of Espírito de Santo soup, where you sit down at the table to celebrate one of the Azores’ oldest traditions.
