Morro de Castelo Branco

Morro de Castelo Branco, a natural reserve on the verdant Azorean island of Faial, was formed by volcanic activity and now serves as a sanctuary for endemic flora and fauna. Named for its dome-shaped structure that rises from the Atlantic Ocean, reminiscent of a white castle, this site attracts hikers and bird-watchers. Visitors can explore trails that wind through the lush landscape, offering opportunities to observe unique plant species and a variety of birds in their natural habitat.
