Overview
Embark on a 4-hour adventure through the Mistérios Negros, a unique hiking trail set in the heart of Terceira Island within a protected area of the Terceira Island Natural Park. This medium-to-difficult trail showcases some of the island’s most striking volcanic landscapes and rich endemic vegetation.
Begin your journey at the serene Lagoa do Negro, where the peaceful surroundings create an ideal moment of calm before the hike.
As you follow the path, discover a variety of endemic species such as Ilex perado azorica (holly), Vaccinium cylindraceum (Azores blueberry), Erica azorica (heather), and Juniperus brevifolia (Azores juniper).
Walk across ancient volcanic domes formed by past lava flows, and venture through enchanting cryptomeria forests and lush green landscapes.
The highlight of the hike is the ascent to Pico Gaspar, offering an impressive view into the interior of a volcanic crater, an unforgettable glimpse into the geological history of the Azores.
Covering approximately 5 km, with moderate elevation and a maximum altitude of 100 meters, this trail is perfect for nature lovers seeking an immersive and authentic Azorean experience.
