The jeep’s suspension takes a breath and the island answers—rock, fern, and the distant pulse of the Atlantic. Tires bite into clay tracks, spray of earth marking a route few visitors take, and the interior of Terceira opens as a sequence of lookout points, natural pools and finally the mud pits where the island’s volcanic soils give way to raw, tactile fun.
