Which are the best regulated hiking trails in the Azores?

Answer updated 18 October 2026Independent guide
Short answer

The Azores has many officially marked trails (trilhos) across the islands, but the 'best' depends on your fitness and the island. Popular regulated routes include trails around Sete Cidades and Furnas on São Miguel, and the Caldeira and Mistérios on other islands. Always check trail status and weather with the official Azores trails website or local tourist office before setting out.
