The Achada Plateau (Portuguese: Planalto da Achada) is an extensive volcanic mountain range located on Pico Island, Azores. It is a protected area with many valuable features that characterize the Azorean landscape. It is included in two Natura 2000 sites, one of which is classified as an Important Bird Area.[4] Part of the plateau also includes a ramsar wetland. It is one of the three main geomorphological units that comprise Pico Island.[5]
