Climb Serra do Cume for some wonderful views of the island and its lush vegetation.

Drive to the volcanic inland caves of Algar do Carvão and Gruta do Natal or swim in the natural lava pools at Biscoitos. And make sure to visit Queijo Vaquinha, the island’s famous cheese factory. Top off the day at a restaurant to enjoy alcatra, a meat dish with rice and sauce cooked for 12 hours in a clay pot.
