What to expect

Start the day by exploring the Sete Cidades volcanic complex in São Miguel island. Pass through a green area mixed with rocky soils. Climb to one of the highest points of Sete Cidades, from where you can see the centre of the island and its lakes.

Enjoy the vast pastures on the south coast and its paths lined with hydrangeas. Continue through a cryptomeria forest towards the Lagoa das Empadadas. Pass through an extensive blanket of moss and its surrounding vegetation until you reach Lagoa do Canário.

Continue towards one of the emblematic viewpoints on São Miguel island, the Grota do Inferno viewpoint. Visit the Vista de Rei viewpoint, overlooking the blue and the green lakes, where you can see the abandoned “Monte Palace” hotel.

Enjoy a picnic lunch and continue by van towards the Escalvado viewpoint to see the parish of Mosteiros and the Ponta da Ferraria. Visit the local viewpoint which provide a panoramic view of the entire lava platform including the Ferraria Lighthouse.

Finish the day with thermal baths in the natural pools of Ferraria. The thermal springs have volcanic origins and occur underground in the ocean, close to the coast. The combination of salt water and thermal water makes this place so special.
