ROUTE DESCRIPTION

Agualva → Algar do Carvão

The race starts in the parish of Agualva, in a rural setting that quickly gives way to natural terrain. In the opening kilometres, the route enters the volcanic heart of the island through Algar do Carvão. Descending into this dormant volcano is one of the race's most remarkable moments, offering direct contact with Terceira's geology.

ALGAR DO CARVÃO.

Mistérios Negros

Back at the surface, the route continues towards the Trilho dos Mistérios Negros, one of the event's most iconic sections. The landscape shaped by the 1761 eruption, the uneven terrain and its almost primordial atmosphere demand constant focus, balance and endurance.

MISTÉRIOS NEGROS.

THE ICON OF THE BRAVE

ROCHA DO CHAMBRE.

As the race progresses, the challenge takes full shape on the long climb to Rocha do Chambre, the great symbol of the Azores Bravos Trail®. The climb is demanding and continuous, but the sweeping views reward every effort.

Caldeira Guilherme Moniz → Serra do Morião

The route continues through Caldeira Guilherme Moniz, a vast pasture landscape where contact with nature is constant. Further ahead, the climb to Serra do Morião signals the approach to the final part of the race. From the top, views over Angra do Heroísmothe Monte Brasil and the Atlantic reinforce the sense of achievement.
