View Cruise DealAs you disembark at Praia da Vitória’s port, a world of captivating experiences awaits just beyond the shore. Delve into the town’s rich history by taking a leisurely stroll through its charming streets. Praia da Vitória showcases an array of architectural gems that reflect its colonial past. Admire the São Sebastião Church, an exquisite example of Baroque architecture and visit the Praça Francisco Ornelas da Câmara, the main square where you can soak in the local atmosphere and possibly catch a cultural event or a traditional festival. Don’t miss the opportunity to engage with the friendly locals and savour the flavours of the Azores at the town’s restaurants and cafes.
For breathtaking panoramic views that encompass the island’s beauty, make your way to Serra do Cume, a natural viewpoint that offers sweeping vistas of Terceira’s lush landscapes. The iconic patchwork quilt-like fields, divided by ancient stone walls, create a stunning visual spectacle that’s sure to leave you awestruck. The viewpoint provides an ideal setting for photography, allowing you to capture the island’s vibrant colours and rolling hills in all their glory. As you stand atop Serra do Cume, surrounded by the Atlantic’s expanse, you’ll feel a profound connection with the island’s untamed nature.
Embark on a subterranean adventure by visiting the mesmerising Algar do Carvão, a volcanic chimney that offers a glimpse into the Earth’s depths. This unique geological formation features a 90-metre-deep cavern with a lagoon at its bottom. Descend through the narrow passages and marvel at the stalactites, stalagmites and intricate rock formations that adorn the walls. As you navigate this hidden wonder, the feeling of being in a realm untouched by time is truly captivating. It feels like stepping into a fantastical kingdom straight out of a storybook and is a must for any nature enthusiast or curious traveller.
