    Caldeira des Cabeco Gordo is the highest mountain, a massive stratovolcano and the largest geomorphological formation on the island of Faial. The highest point of the mountain, Cabeço Gordo, reaches a height of 1,043 meters above sea level. One of the most notable features of this volcano is its two-kilometer-wide caldera, which lies 400 m deep below the crater rim.

      The bike rental company AL-Bike offers a shuttle service up to the top.
      By arrangement, you can also be picked up again anywhere on the island.


      Super nice people, who make an effort to give you a nice day by looking for alternatives depending on the weather and suggesting them to you.
