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.
