Corvo

Tiny Corvo is the most northerly island of the Azores.

The first (and only) permanent settlement was established at Vila do Porto in the mid-to-late 1500s, and his currently home to around 450 residents. The island’s landscape is dominated by its caldera – the collapsed remnants of a kilometre-high caldera which formed 430,000 years ago. Together with Flores and Graciosa, the island is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve – acknowledging the careful preservation of her volcanic landscape in tandem with sustainable human development.

In the 16th and 17th centuries, Corvo and neighbour Flores were a vital navigation beacon for ships sailing the trade winds between mainland Portugal and her Brazilian colonies. The islands quickly lost their significance when the industrial revolution and steam-driven ships transformed Atlantic navigation. Nowadays, the island’s a popular destination for the birdwatching community each Autumn, when migrating American species seek refuge on the island.
