Overview

Pico, the Azorean archipelago's youngest island with a history reaching back 300,000 years, unfolds an intriguing narrative. Home to Portugal's highest point, the Pico mountain volcano, the island features breathtaking pastures, varied geological formations, and natural lakes, contributing to its distinct landscape.

Embark on a jeep excursion to explore the island's central plateau, navigating at an average altitude of 850 meters for a tranquil and immersive encounter with nature. Throughout this expedition, there will be opportunities to delve into the island's geology, wildlife, and plant life, enhancing your comprehension of Pico's captivating ecosystem. Observe the island's relatively recent eruptive activity as we venture into a lava tube, highlighting the dynamic geological forces in action.
