The programme

At the pier, get on the saddle, grip the handlebar and off you go: Exploration mode activated, to discover the eastern coast of Terceira Island on two wheels. Spoiler alert: This is not the usual Sunday ride.

We sprint along the pointy volcanic cliffs and, with the wind on your face, you take trails that cross incredibly green hills and fertile fields, to inject your adventure with the right amount of “wild”.

Inland, protected areas follow one another. Then, you turn toward the historical center of Praia da Vitoria. Selfie stop? You can't miss out, with those colorful houses.

And bear in mind that… those who dare, win! So, take a deep breath and keep on pedaling to the Facho viewpoint, with a 360° view all over the city and the ocean. A paradise for your eyes and a break for your legs.

And the final prize: Praia beach is the perfect place to lean back in front of the blue water, which is even bluer close to the dark volcanic sand. What are you waiting for - click away! It's a super-Instagrammable combination!
