Vulcão dos Capelinhos

In Faial you can visit a lot of spots related to volcanoes because it was how the island was formed. It is 21 km in length and 14 km at the maximum width and it looks like a pentagon. The island is part of the Central Group and is the westernmost corner of the so-called “Triangle Islands”, which also include São Jorge and Pico, the latter just 6 km away from Faial. From Horta you can see the highest mountain in Portugal - Pico.
On this first day we could visit the Caldeira, with its ice-cold wind, Praia do Almoxarife, Monte da Guia, Porto Pim, Horta Marina, the Capelinhos Vulcano and the Espalamaca viewpoint.Baca lagi
