Whether active, dormant or extinct, volcanoes are earthshaking testaments to nature's sheer strength. Pretend you're a volcanologist for a day and explore the geological wonders of Capelinhos.
You'll have sightseeing choices galore when spending time in Cedros. Capelinhos is a great place to start here, but there are plenty of other worthy attractions to explore. Caldeira, Fort of Santa Cruz, and Peter's Scrimshaw Museum are near the geological phenomenon and will top off your day nicely.
