Walking Tour at Rocha do Chambre Trail (Full Day)

On the way to the interior of the island, you will have the opportunity to observe the fields where the brave cattle live, as well as how rich is the interior of the island, preserved and maintained by the locals throughout the centuries, to the present day. The trail is located in the center of Terceira Island and in the course of it we will observe the endemic flora of the Azores, such as forests of cryptomérias, large pastures and even observe some of the fauna of the island. This route has as an attraction the "Rocha de Chambre", a vertical wall located at 708 m of altitude where stands out the view over the valley of the Azinhal and the caldera of the Pico Alto volcano. After this ascent, time also to admire the view of Pico das Caldeirinhas and Pico Vermelho.

The final part of the trail develops along a dry stone wall, in an area dominated by Urze, an endemic species. After lunch, time to dazzle ourselves with the grotto of Algar do charcoal, a volcanic chimney that is undoubtedly the best known volcanic cavity in the Azores.

On the return to Angra do Heroísmo we will pause in the Caldeira do Guilherme Moniz, a protected area of resource management of the Natural Park of Terceira, characterized by the presence of protected species of the Macaronesian forest. Time still to visit the Quinta dos Açores, one of the reference places to buy local products.
