Tour Description

 

Discover two of the most magnificent places on Sao Miguel island in just one tour!  

For those who came on a short vacation getaway this is the perfect tour to discover two of the most magnificent places on Sao Miguel island in just one day!  

Explore the central massive of Serra de Água de Pau on a 4WD Tour and see Lagoa do Fogo, or "Fire Lake", the second largest lake in the island that's located on an unspoiled area and that has part of the Rede Natura network of sites of communitarian interest, for special conservation by European Commission and the Habitats Directive 92/43/CEE. Stop at the Natural Park of Caldeira Velha for a dip in natural Thermal Pools with a waterfall surrounded by the most lushly scenery perfect for you to relax and take several pictures. Don't forget to bring your swimming suit (we recommend not to use white color swimming suits) and towel - entrance fees not included.

After this is time to head out to the West side of Sao Miguel island to explore one of the most beautiful Seven Wonders of Portugal - Sete Cidades -  where our first stop will be at a local restaurant for you to enjoy a buffet with typical Azorean flavours (lunch optional) or to explore the village inside the crater surround by the emblematic blue and green waters of the  Twin Lakes. Our way back to Ponta Delgada will be made through Cumeeiras Trail - the rim of the volcano - where you can contemplate the landscape access only by foot or with a 4X4 vehicle with amazing view points like Miradouro da Princesa and Carvão where you can see 5 of the volcanic craters, that made this place a little piece of heaven in earth, each one with its own unique beauty like Santiago’s Lake and Lagoa Seca.
