The smallest and most remote island of the Azores, nestled in the North Atlantic. What makes it truly unique? 🌍

Corvo’s standout feature is the breathtaking Caldeirão crater, a massive 2 km-wide volcanic wonder. Inside, two serene lakes and several small islets create a surreal landscape that feels untouched by time.

The island itself was formed about 730,000 years ago due to volcanic activity, and its last eruption occurred 10,000 years ago. Since then, Corvo has remained geologically dormant but filled with the echoes of its fiery origins.

With fewer than 400 residents, this tranquil island feels like stepping back in time, where life moves at its own pace and nature rules supreme. Its compact size allows you to explore the entire island on foot in just a few days, making it the perfect destination for those seeking quiet solitude and unspoiled beauty.

Getting here is an adventure in itself: you can either take a short flight from the neighboring island of Flores or enjoy a boat ride with Extremocidente Azores across the Atlantic waters, adding to the island’s sense of seclusion. This tour typically includes visits to caves, waterfalls, and the stunning coastline of Flores, making the journey even more memorable.

Alternatively, you can take The Ferry to Corvo island, which operates daily except Wednesdays during the summer season and only a few times per week in the winter season. Make sure to check the schedule well in advance to plan your trip accordingly.

Attention! the point on the map is just a representation of the island as a whole. You don’t need to search for it on your GPS to see this incredible Caldeirão.
