Overview
Spend a week exploring the Parque Natural de Terceira on our Terceira Guided Walking Holiday.
Of the nine islands which make up the Azores, it’s Terceira which offers a glimpse of the untamed landscapes which faced the first settlers in the 15th century. Avoiding the volcanic centre of the island, these settlers established their new communities on Terceira’s more-hospitable coasts, where they a grew into modern-day Praia da Vitoria, Porto Martins and the city of Angra de Heroismo.
The inland ancient habitats are now protected Parque Naturals – preserving what remains of the native species, vegetation and ecosystems which were once in danger of being lost to human development. Our licenced guides Tiago and Isabel will lead you along their very own off-piste network of trails, through laurisilva and juniper forests, criss-crossing the lava flows which are gradually being reclaimed by the island’s plants and animals. You’ll also learn about Terceira’s once-flourishing wine industry, hiking through the untenanted vineyards of Biscoitos
You’ll be based in historic Angra de Heroismo – the Azores’ first city and capital of Terceira. With our Terceira Guided Walking Holiday, you can choose between a stay at the Azoris Angra Garden Hotel on the city’s main Praca Velha square, or the clifftop Pousada Forte Angra do Heroismo.
