GRUTA DO NATAL
Read moreIt is a lava tunnel about 700 m long. After a presentation of the cave by a member of Os Montanheiros, the visit is free (don't worry, the tunnel is very well lit!). The cave was originally known as the Black Gallery, then it was renamed the Horse Cave, and finally the Christmas Cave (the date on which the cave was first opened to the public). We can observe different types of lava and other geological structures; an unusual and instructive moment!

BARRO VERMELHO
Read moreMade of red clay, this superb beach is unique in the region. Its impressive color contrasts with the electric blue of the ocean that washes ashore. A pure marvel! The picnic area and swimming area are ideal for relaxation, with a platform and ladder leading directly into the natural pools. One of the island's campsites is also located here, and is completely free of charge. The beach is definitely worth a visit, even if you don't stay to enjoy the facilities.
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!
