Located at the northern limit, the Azores are an important resting and nesting place for many migratory bird species. One of the most characteristic is the Cory’s Shearwater (Calonectris borealis)! 80% of the world’s population nests within the archipelago.

Endemic will guide you on a night trip to see where these birds nest and the incredible loud noise they make when they are back from the Ocean.

This terrestrial exploration is meant to discover not only the endemic forest of the Azores but also what other species can grow in this volcanic soil! The day starts with a trek on the north side of the island, followed by a dive in the ocean on a wild beach. After a picnic we will spend the afternoon learning how to grow a sustainable based food systems at the first permaculture farm of Faial, Myrica Farm. At the end of the day be ready to relax, laying on a hammock with a glass of Pico wine or a mug of herbal tea while looking at the horizon and listening to the forest melodies! Be impressed by the diversity produced in this subtropical area!

The history of Faial island is complex and intense, shaped by influences mainly from Europe and North America. Those heritages are still well preserved and Horta city is the main stage of action.

Join these time travel from the XV century till the present days!
