Start by driving up to the caldera's wall through a inner road of the island, stop by a viewpoint to see both north and south coastlines and the vast hills and volcanic formations along São Miguel.

Check the old roman style aqueducts that were used to carry fresh water among western villages since the XVI century, Ponta Delgada was also fed through this infrastructure up until the beginning of the XX century. Check on the popular Nine Windows Wall and the gate, some say, to Narnia!

Reach into a secluded lagoon surrounded by trees, the Lagoa do Canário can be contemplated only from a few access points. The lush vegetation of Cryptomerias and high humidity in the air, makes it like we're walking into an enchanted forest.

Take a easy walk through the natural park of Lagoa do Canario up until the viewpoint of Boca do Inferno, where one can contemplate the valleys formed around the Sete Cidades volcano, the Blue and Green lagoons and the village of Sete Cidades. From an height of around 700 meters above sea level there's a lot to appreciate. (A minimum level of physical aptitude is required due to a steep climb to the viewpoint.)

Contemplate the whole vastness of Sete Cidades green and blue lagoons from the King's View viewpoint, learn about the Admire the vastness of the Sete Cidades lagoon from high above (commonly known as twin lakes or blue and green lakes, but in reality it's one massive water body)! Learn about the difference of its colours, the legend story revolving around it and admire the abandoned luxurious hotel, Monte Palace Hotel.of the abandoned hotel that lies in ruins and the legend behind the lagoons. We'll make a stop on a less busy stop before reaching the very populated viewpoint.

For lunch, indulge your tasting buds with our regional style food, you’ll have options of meat, fish and vegetarian in this buffet of traditionally made local food. (Starter, Main Course, Drink, Dessert and Coffee included)

We'll take a short walk by the peninsula that stands through the Blue Lagoon, a nice quiet moment that will boost an authentic connection to the local ecosystem. Observe the local wildlife and seasonal flora, admire the crater from its inside. It will also be a great help for our digestion.

A quick dwell around the village of Sete Cidades to check the regional typical architecture and lifestyle, and the iconic neo-gothic church (one of the two on the island). You'll find a nearby souvenir/gift shop.

Reach the top of a cliff on the westernmost point of São Miguel to appreciate the views of Mosteiros and its islets, learn about the story of the missing Azorean island.

Descend into Mosteiros, the westernmost village of São Miguel, to walk on its beach with an unique perspective on the islets. Admire also its vast basaltic coast where natural pools formed by lava flows can be found. (The bottom of the sea at this beach is rock abundant, entering the water involves risky maneuvering, we do not recommend baths here.)

Mosteiros is one of the most unusual swimming spots on the island. Admire a vast magnificent coastline of basaltic rock, lava flows formed this area hundreds of years ago, with the swells from the Atlantic ocean, different holes pop where one can go to refresh himself. Your guide will know which pools are accessible. Free entry natural pools can also be found here, open to the ocean or more enclosed ones, where locals who aren't sand lovers come to enjoy their ocean baths in a hassle free way. Beware of the rocky surfaces! (A quick dip is allowed as long as you can return dry to the vehicle. We do not provide towels or change of clothes). The pools of "Mosteiros" are not part of the thermal ocean baths of "Ferraria". Due to the hot water dependency on low tide and changing tides different hours, we can not assure that experience.
