Hiking

Just look at a map to realize that São Jorge Island is a long mountain range - even with the Atlantic hiding and submerging much of the mountain range. The highest point of the Island is Pico da Esperança, with its 1053 meters of altitude, a volcanic mountain with abundant vegetation of high botanical value.

If the weather service fits, you have a great view of the other islands and of course the Pico. ... for all fuselages hikers, you can go up to the last 50hm.
