Pico is an island rich in natural beauty and tradition. You can explore its UNESCO-listed vineyards, climb Portugal’s highest mountain, or dive into the fascinating world of whaling history. Food lovers will enjoy tasting local delicacies like fresh seafood, traditional stews, and, of course, the famous Pico wines. Our island may be small, but it’s full of unforgettable experiences waiting to be discovered.
Thanks to its central location, Pico is also the perfect base to explore the other two islands of the Azorean Triangle: Faial and São Jorge. Faial is just a short 25-minute ferry ride from Madalena and offers a vibrant marina, the iconic Capelinhos volcano, and colorful Horta. São Jorge, known for its dramatic cliffs and famous cheese, can be reached by ferry from São Roque or Madalena in about an hour. For schedules, visit www.atlanticoline.pt.
