Ilha Terceira Must-Sees

Terceira Island is defined by its volcanic geology and colonial history. The UNESCO-listed center of Angra do Heroísmo features 16th-century fortifications like the Fortress of São João Baptista. Interior highlights include the Algar do Carvão volcanic chimney and the Furnas do Enxofre fumarole field. Scenic viewpoints like Serra do Cume overlook the island's unique patchwork agricultural landscape, while the coastline offers natural lava rock swimming pools in Porto Martins and sandy beaches in Praia da Vitória.
