MIRADOURO DA SERRA DO CUME
Read moreJust ten kilometers south-west of Praia da Vitória, this miradouro is reached via a pretty cobbled road. From the top of the viewpoint, a breathtaking panorama of the entire interior of the island of Terceira. As far as the eye can see, green landscapes and a patchwork of fields criss-crossed by the distinctive volcanic stone walls. To be admired only in fine weather, when the sky is clear. Worth the detour.

GRUTA DO NATAL
Read moreNamed literally "Christmas grotto" after the mass celebrated there on December 25, 1969, gruta do Natal is just 6 km from Algar do Carvão. It's a 697-metre-long lava tube. You won't be able to go all the way down, as part of it is reserved for experienced cavers, but the two routes inside will enable you to observe all kinds of volcanic formations. A helmet is provided, as some passages are narrow and require you to bend down to move forward. A great underground expedition!
