Full description

Spend a day exploring hidden gems of São Miguel Island, away from the big crowds. The island of São Miguel is beautiful everywhere and has a lot more to see besides the popular and busy attractions!

Drive through the quiet roads of the inner island, surrounded by forests and green pastures. See the native and unique vegetation of the Azores in well-preserved areas and learn about their uses in the early history of the islands.

From ample views from mountain tops, to waterfalls, cliffs, a small lake—this tour goes to many amazing places that are not part of the main tourist itineraries.
