Today you’ll catch a flight to Faial island at 09:05am and enjoy a private full day tour upon arriving at 09:40am.
Faial was named thusly because there are many beech trees there (faias), but no other island can boast such a huge mass of hydrangeas in different shades of blue, which frame the houses, separate the fields and border the roads, justifying the nickname Blue Island.
In the island you’ll find a huge crater called Caldeira, about 2km in diameter and 400m deep. It is surrounded by blue hydrangeas and lush vegetation, amongst which cedars, junipers, beeches, ferns and mosses stand out, and some of which are important examples of the original vegetation of the island.
