West Terceira Van Tour + Cheese Tasting

At the agreed time, pickup will be from your hotel in Angra do Heroismo, the island's capital. The tour begins at Monte Brasil, where a 40-minute walking tour will explore the peninsula formed around an extinct tuff volcano, including its caldera and four peaks: Cruces, Facho, Zimbreiro, and Quebrada, the latter being known for Atlantic whale watching.

Following Monte Brasil, the tour will continue to Terceira with short stops in the villages of São Mateus da Calheta and Santa Barbara for photos. The next stop is a farm where a tasting of Azorean cheese will occur, including Queijo Vaquinha, featuring a selection of leading cheese brands from the archipelago.

The tour then moves to the natural pools of Biscoitos for a 30-minute walking tour to learn about the formation of these lagoons, generally linked to volcanic activity. Finally, the tour will return to your hotel, with an estimated return time of 3-4 hours after pickup.
