Algar do Carvão:
A Journey to the Center of the Earth
This unique natural monument is a 90-meter deep volcanic vent. It is one of the rare places in the world where you can literally walk inside a dormant volcano and admire its silica stalactites.
What to see there:
+Volcanic Cone: Descend the staircases surrounded by walls covered in moss and lush vegetation.
+Indoor Lake: At the bottom of the "algar," you will find a crystal-clear lake fed by rainwater.
+Silica Stalactites: Observe the rare, shimmering formations on the cavern ceiling.
+Cathedral of Silence: Feel the perfect acoustics and the grandeur of Azorean geology.
