Caldeira Guilherme Moniz

Caldeira Guilherme Moniz

The Guilherme Moniz–Pico Alto volcano, the second to emerge from the ocean, occupies the entire central zone of Terceira Island. The landscapes are shaped by the impressive Caldeira de Guilherme Moniz crater, with lava fields, lava domes, fumaroles and lava caves with springs of crystal clear water, the lava domes and flows of Pico Alto, and the south side of the Serra do Morião range, which includes Monte Brasil.

Here you can appreciate both the natural landscape, characterized by rocky outcrops in the natural woodland, and the humid zones, whose landscape has been altered by man, where the wild cattle, such as the fighting bull, are most commonly seen.
