Discover the volcanic landscape of Pico island, elected one of the 7 Wonders of Portugal. Explore lakes, lagoons, and viewpoints, and enter a mysterious lava cave during this guided van experience.
Begin your tour by visiting beautiful lakes and several viewpoints. Pass by Casa da Montanha, the highest point reached in a car. This is the starting point for those who book a hike on a trail to Portugal’s highest summit, but for us will be a chance to get beautiful mountain views.
Pass by the volcanic complex of the eastern part of the island. Stop for a light lunch in between volcanoes and lagoons and tuck into sandwiches while enjoying a scenic view. Hear stories and facts from your local island guide.
In the afternoon, continue your adventure as you join a guided tour through Portugal’s longest lava tube, Gruta das Torres. Walk along the 3.2-mile-long tube which was created 1500 years ago from an eruption in Cabeço Bravo.
Observe different geological formations such as stalactites and stalagmites, side benches, and lava balls. Finally, head back to the van and be dropped off back in Madalena.
