For one of the best views in the Azores, make your way up Monte Brasil, the ancient volcano that shelters the city of Angra do Heroísmo. From the Miradouro do Alto da Caldeira, you'll get a stunning panoramic vista of the historic city and the vast Atlantic. It's more than just a viewpoint; you can follow an easy trail or take on the full 7.5 km hike around the peninsula, a walk of about two and a half hours that winds through lush nature and past historic fortifications.
