Caldeira do Faial Descent - private hiking tour

5.0(20)5 hBy Our Island

About this activity

The Caldeira of Faial has been a natural reserve since 1972 (category I – IUCN). It’s a volcanic collapse crater with unique characteristics.

Since the Caldeira of Faial Descent is such a special experience, Faial Natural Park controls the access to the bottom, issuing only a limited number of permits. For this reason, a Certified Guide is mandatory for the Caldeira Descent.

The trail is difficult because it is very narrow and steep and, sometimes, scrambling is necessary.
