Diese Wanderung im Krater von Chã das Caldeiras ermöglicht es Ihnen, zu dem kleinen Krater aufzusteigen, der durch den Vulkanausbruch von 2014 entstanden ist. Es ist der jüngste Krater der Insel: der kleine Pico. In dieser Mondlandschaft wächst hier und da Vegetation (endemische Pflanzen und Reben). Was für eine kontrastreiche bunte Landschaft! Eine weitere traurigere Vision ist die Beobachtung der Zerstörung, die durch die von diesem kleinen Krater zurückgeworfenen Lavaströme verursacht wurde. Die Bewohner des Dorfes zeigen Mut und sind zurück, nachdem sie ihre begrabenen Häuser verlassen haben. Irgendwie bauen sie ihr Leben neben dem Vulkan wieder auf, vor dem sie großen Respekt haben. Diese Wanderung bietet ein Fest der Sinne. Visuell, olfaktorisch (Schwefelgeruch), eine fast Stille, die vom Windhauch berührt wird. Und schließlich dieser Kontakt mit diesem Boden aus Steinen und Lava: Alles ist da, um ein aufregendes "vulkanisches" Erlebnis zu erleben. WICHTIG: Mindestteilnehmerzahl: 2 Personen
