General presentation
Flores et Corvo
Extreme Açorian west, very green and isolated, between waterfalls, lakes, cliffs, tiny villages and humid landscapes.
To understand what Flores and Corvo are, look at Poço da Ribeira do Ferreiro, Fajã Grande and Lagoas de Flores. These places give you the opportunity to see a territory marked by island landscapes, natural spaces, coastlines and mountain reliefs and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.

For a stay of 4 to 7 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: fragile air access and very changing weather. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place
Fajã Grande
Fajã Grande is a point of balance between coastal village and wilder nature, with routes that emphasize relief and wind. The views are quickly renewed between houses, coves and areas of mild erosion. The island's topography is thus understood in real time.
Place
Corvo
Corvo The narrow streets and the surrounding natural spaces produce a dense but clear reading of the place. It is a stage that takes advantage of a concentrated walk, without overloading the schedule.
Place
Caldeirão
Caldeirão is discovered by following its topographical frame, with alternations of exposed and cashed areas. The details of the relief are more telling than generalities, especially when you take the time to change your point of view. The place reveals an intimate and precise geography.
