Azores Hiking & Soul Retreat

We picked it for the way it uses Faial’s volcanic landscape as more than scenery: walking, nature and reflection shape the whole week.

Guided hikes through forests, waterways and volcanic terrain, picnics, time in Horta, communal dinners and space to rest at the lodge.

Each retreat lasts eight days and includes seven nights at PÁTIO. Prices start at €2,599 for double-room accommodation; other room types cost more. The group is limited to six. Hiking guidance is available in English, German and Dutch. Bring sturdy walking boots, a daypack and water. Flights, travel insurance and drinks with meals are not included.
