Dotting the northern Atlantic Ocean, Terceira is one of the larger islands of the Portuguese Azores Archipelago. The island features beautiful sandy beaches, numerous magnificent viewpoints, and even an amazing extinct volcano. Visitors can look forward to a wide selection of wonderful activities and attractions such as: exploring the Monte Brasil, a scenic peninsula near Angra do Heroismo; sunbathing on the stunning Praia da Vitoria Beach lined with colourful buildings; and soaking up the hilltop views from Miradouro do Facho. Don’t miss the biggest highlight of the island: walking inside Algar do Carvao, an extinct volcano consisting of a long lava tube leading down to a rainwater-fed lagoon.
