On the south coast of Terceira Island there is a hidden gem: the Ilh\u00e9us das Cabras. This is one of the places you can\u2019t miss. Find out why below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ilh\u00e9us das Cabras<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Ilh\u00e9us das Cabras are located on the south coast of Terceira Island, close to the parish of Feteira, in the municipality of Angra do Hero\u00edsmo. This small natural paradise belongs to the Special Protection Zone of Ilh\u00e9u das Cabras. There are two islets, Ilh\u00e9u Pequeno and Ilh\u00e9u Grande.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ilh\u00e9us are not inhabited, but in other times, they were used as grazing areas for sheep and goats. The two islets together are considered the largest islet in the Azores Archipelago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On these islets, it is possible to see several species of birds that inhabit the area, such as shearwaters, common terns, gulls, pink terns and royal herons. Small cetaceans such as turtles and wild porpoises can be found on site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ilh\u00e9us das Cabras originated from volcanic remains resulting from the contact of basaltic lava with water, thus forming coastal volcanic cones collapsed by marine erosion and tectonic movements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
