Pico Island Adventure Reveals Volcanic Wonders Above And Below


Pico Island, Azores — A remarkable nature expedition is taking visitors into the heart of Pico’s Central Plateau, a landscape shaped by powerful volcanic forces and rich with rare ecosystems. Home to more than two hundred volcanic cones, peaceful lakes, and hidden lagoons, this remote region offers a unique glimpse into the island’s extraordinary natural heritage.


The journey begins in Madalena before heading into some of Pico’s most breathtaking scenery. Travelers will discover secluded lagoons, impressive viewpoints, and the Mountain House, a high altitude location offering panoramic views across the island and the Atlantic Ocean. The area provides valuable insight into the protected natural reserve while showcasing the incredible biodiversity and endemic plants found throughout the plateau.


For those seeking a greater challenge, the adventure also offers the chance to begin the ascent toward Mount Pico, Portugal’s highest point. After enjoying a light outdoor meal surrounded by dramatic landscapes, the exploration continues beneath the surface with a guided visit to Gruta das Torres, the country’s longest lava tube.


Inside this ancient volcanic tunnel, visitors can observe fascinating formations created by past eruptions, including stalactites, stalagmites, lava benches, and unique lava structures. With helmets and lanterns guiding the way, the underground experience reveals another side of Pico’s volcanic identity. The journey concludes with a return to Madalena, leaving travelers with unforgettable memories of the island’s natural beauty and geological wonders.
