ABOUT PICOS DE AVENTURA
WELCOME TO OUR ADVENTURE!
Created in 2002, Picos de Aventura is a tourist entertainment company that allows you to enjoy what the Azores have to offer. Our activities, whether at sea such as whale watching, or on land such as canyoning, allow you to discover the corners of the island of São Miguel and Terceira, involving you in a constant interaction with nature, as well as local culture and cuisine.
Our team, made up of qualified professionals, distinguishes itself by working with small groups of visitors, in order to provide more personalized services, without harming the places where the activities take place.
OUR MISSION
We distinguish ourselves by carrying out maritime and land activities with small groups of visitors, in order to provide more versatile and personalized services and to enable the creation of itineraries, without harming the places where these activities take place. The sustainability of the Azores Region is integrated in our operation, as we are committed to finding the balance between what we do and what we preserve.
Our activities are always carried out with the maximum responsibility, respect and consideration for Mother Nature and all that she represents. This commitment extends to various scientific, social and cultural projects in which we are involved such as Biotalks and Picoslogy, which allow us to make our contribution and appeal to society for the importance of preservation and conservation of the environment.
