Itinerary

Let’s go +

This wonderful tour combines some off-the-beaten-track routes in both the highlands and flatlands of São Miguel island.
We will take you to the amazing nature reserve of Lagoa do Fogo from Ponta Delgada.

Pico da Barrosa +

This adventure starts by checking in at our shop in Ponta Delgada or by picking you up and heading to Fogo volcano.
We will begin with Pico da Barrosa, from where you can see both South and north coasts of the island. Pico da Barrosa is a wonderful viewpoint you have to visit while in São Miguel.
It offers an astonishing view from where you can also have a first sight of the magical Fogo Volcano and Lake.

Lagoa do Fogo viewpoint +

Then, we will go down to the viewpoint of Lagoa do Fogo to see the blue lake. There, you will be able to enjoy nature at its best. Fogo lake is one of the most untouched places around São Miguel.
You will truly feel the power of nature that created this amazing lake in a volcanic crater. Astonishing views from the top of the crater’s border are a must to photograph!

Caldeira Velha +

We will then drive to Caldeira Velha, a warm iron-rich waterfall. There, you can go for a dip to experience a relaxing bath surrounded by nature.
Swimming in any of the several hot natural pools at Caldeira Velha will give you the impression that you are in the middle of a tropical forest.

Salto do Cabrito +

After this relaxing moment, we will stop at Salto do Cabrito. It is a wildly beautiful waterfall of about 50 m. Then, we will pass by Ribeira Grande and take you back to Ponta Delgada.
