Experience the unmatched beauty of these Atlantic gems as you explore breathtaking trails.

Uncover two distinct paradises in the Azores: Flores and Corvo. Flores, part of the esteemed UNESCO World Network of Biosphere Reserves, is a visual delight with its rugged coastlines, waterfalls, lakes, and ponds. Beyond its natural splendor, the island is known for its warm hospitality.

Corvo, the smallest of the nine islands, is a volcanic gem featuring the charming settlement of Vila Nova do Corvo. With its dark stone buildings, cobblestone streets, and rich craft traditions, it offers a unique ambiance. As you journey to Caldeirão, the island's main attraction, take in the views of stone walls, hydrangea hedges, and basalt “palheiros.”

Flores and Corvo beckon you to join us on an unforgettable adventure in this magical corner of the ocean.

Local guides can modify hikes depending on the weather and your group.
