We did the 360 degree crater rim hike in foggy and stormy weather. Pretty narrow path at times, views of the caldeira and the island are unbelievable. The 8 km hike can easily be done in 2 hours. Our family liked it a lot - and next time we want to descend into the crater!

When the weather is nice, I mean no cloud and no mist this is a must go spot on Faial Island! Book a trip with a guide, as per example “Our Island” tour as you can’t go on your own for safety reasons... the trip and sight are amazing! Enjoy

Just the drive up to this amazing lookout is worth the trip. Winding roads through the most beautiful forrested areas in Faial. Take it slow. Wind down the window. Enjoy the journey. As for the Caldeira. Wow!!! You enter the viewpoint either by going up the stairs, or by tunnel. Pick the tunnel. Breathtaking as it opens up before you. Do not leave Faial without visiting this amazing spot.
