Must-see: 
> The Calderia Volcano and Capelinhos Volcano
The Calderia and Capelinhos Volcano is a breathtaking monogenetic volcanic field - monogenetic means that it will only erupt once. Incredibly, its irruption lasted over 13 months!  
> Watch the sunset from the Marina in Horta, with the Island of Pico as a backdrop
This is a definite must-see. Not only does it provide the perfect backdrop for your storytelling, it's also the perfect time to reflect on your charter, and start planning on your next!
