About this place

Two volcanic islets off Feteira, formed by an ancient submarine eruption.

Azzy’s story

Ilhéus das Cabras were born from a submarine volcanic eruption, and erosion gradually split the former cone into two islets. The name comes from their former use for grazing goats, and today they are one of Terceira's most emblematic geosites.
