At the indicated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Horta and then take a boat to Pico Island. We'll traverse landscapes of endless vineyards, declared World Heritage Site, and visit the most beautiful villages on this island.

Once we get to the island, we'll explore the village of São Mateus, home to one of the oldest parishes. We'll also visit a crafts workshop.
