Algar do Carv\u00e3o, located on Terceira Island, is the only volcano in the world that can be visited inland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Algar do Carv\u00e3o is an extinct volcanic cone, formed around 500 thousand years ago. Its magma chamber was formed by the eruption of lava and ash, which were later solidified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A visit to Algar do Carv\u00e3o is a unique experience, which takes place throughout the year, and allows visitors to see the interior of a volcano in a safe and controlled way. Lasting around 45 minutes, visits include a descent of 400 steps to the bottom of the magma chamber. The path is winding and narrow, but well lit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the bottom of the magma chamber, visitors can see a variety of volcanic rock formations, including stalagmites, stalactites and columns. It is also possible to see the incandescent lava that is still found inside the volcano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although there are other volcanoes in the world that are partially visitable, Algar do Carv\u00e3o is the only one that allows a complete visit to its interior.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
