Discover the fascinating geological history of Terceira Island, a gem of the Azores shaped by the force of volcanoes over millennia. Explore breathtaking landscapes, from majestic volcanic calderas to impressive lava tubes, which tell the story of this island’s creation and transformation. Be enchanted by the natural pools of Biscoitos, formed by basaltic lava, and savour the wine that grows from this volcanic soil.
