Jeep Tour to Sete Cidades & Lagoa do Fogo

Trip Overview

We offer a journey that is only possible in the comfortable agility of a jeep, taking side roads solely known to farmers and to the authentic local folks – along the day, these people will slowly reveal their secrets.

We witness the fertility of the fields only comparable to the wild exuberance of the bush; the serenity of the waters in the lagoons against the foamy movement of the sea envisioned from the top of the cliffs.

And we proceed, triumphantly, surrounded by scents, through rows of azaleas, hydrangeas, and yellow ginger lilies!

Caldeira Velha +

The adventure doesn’t stop here! We will drive to Caldeira Velha, a warm iron-rich waterfall. There, it is possible to take a dip thanks to the volcanic activity warming the water to 26 °C (78.8 °F).
It is a natural open-air spa, surrounded by lush forest. A fantastic scenery that looks straight out of a movie.
