Day 2: An Unforgettable Adventure to Corvo Island and the Caves along the Northeast Coast of Flores Island
Estimated Duration: 6 hours
Prepare yourself for an extraordinary experience as we explore the stunning northeast coast of Flores Island, heading toward the enchanting island of Corvo. This journey is the perfect blend of breathtaking scenery, natural secrets, and memorable experiences.
We will begin our adventure by exploring the magnificent caves and waterfalls that adorn the northeast coast, creating a truly unforgettable setting. Next, we will cross the channel that leads us to our neighbor, the island of Corvo. During the crossing, keep an eye out for dolphins and other marine wonders; if we are fortunate enough to encounter them, we will pause to capture these special moments.
Upon arrival at Corvo Island, you will have approximately 5 hours to discover the charms, fascinating history, and museums that define this, the smallest island in the Azores. For those wishing to explore further, we offer a transfer service to the iconic “Caldeirão”—a volcanic crater of incomparable beauty.
