Full description

Get off the usual tourist trail on a 3-hour 4WD tour of the Sete Cidades (Seven Cities) region of the Azores island of São Miguel, departing from Ponta Delgada. Traveling by 4WD vehicle, you will experience the dramatic scenery of the volcanic crater and its flora and fauna in a more immersive fashion.  Drive to the mountain top to look down on the 2 impressive lakes of the caldera (basin), one with blue water (Lagoa Azul) and the other with green water (Lagoa Verde). Along the way, take in many other picturesque spots of São Miguel, including the peaceful lakes of Lagoa das Empadadas, Lagoa de Santiago, and Lagoa do Carvão.  Enjoy stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean, volcanic cones, and stretches of green, and go to villages that have played a vital role in the story of the island.

We absolutely adored our guide; he was so friendly and knowledgeable. He’s what really made the experience! Of course the views were great as well. We walked a little bit, but I do wish we had maybe a bit more time for some small “hikes” (I know there are other tours for exactly that but we’d have like to walk around a bit more). Might need to make the tour longer; there’s so much to see in such a small timeframe!
