Tour Overview

Embark on a 2-day adventure through the island of São Miguel, visiting the main attractions where every moment is designed to give you a taste of the best Azorean history, landscape, folklore and gastronomy. The western part of the tour reveals the mythical Sete Cidades volcano, the eternal Azorean postcard, where the colors of the blue and green lagoon gave rise to one of São Miguel's most beautiful legends, and the Fogo volcano, a true nature monument, a refuge for seabirds and migratory birds. The eastern part of the tour takes you to explore the mysterious Furnas Volcano, where the geothermal volcanic landscape blends perfectly with local life, and the Ribeira dos Caldeirões Park, with its waterfalls and windmills. A visit to the Gorreana tea factory and plantation, the world's last 100% natural tea factory, rounds off a memorable tour.
