Serra do Cume is a mountain in eastern Terceira. It quickly rises to 545 meters (1,788 feet) from the relatively flatter terrain that surrounds it. However, the summit is actually quite accessible. Visitors can drive right up to a viewpoint, the Miradouro da Serra do Cume (map<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This view is nearly due south. The small islets known as Ilh\u00e9us das Cabras<\/a> appear just off the coastline in the center of this photograph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This view from Serra do Cume is approximately west-southwest. The plain below is distinctly agricultural. This is cattle country. The central ridge of Terceira’s mountains appears on the horizon. On the very farthest right appears an even more distant mountain on the western side of the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terceira’s second largest town is Praia da Vit\u00f3ria<\/a>. It can be seen to the northeast of the viewpoint. This image shows the arcing shape of the natural harbor chosen for the settlement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
