Pico Island Day Trip
At the indicated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Horta and then take a boat to Pico Island. We'll traverse landscapes of endless vineyards, declared World Heritage Site, and visit the most beautiful villages on this island.
Once we get to the island, we'll explore the village of São Mateus, where one of the oldest parishes on the island is located. We'll also visit a crafts workshop!
We'll then move on to our next stop: Lajes do Pico, the first inhabited spot on the island.
