Embark on a half-day journey that reveals the true soul of São Miguel island, blending profound community connection with legendary natural beauty. Your adventure begins in the charming coastal village of Fenais da Luz. Here, you will visit the Casa do Dízimo, a community-based project offering an authentic glimpse into Azorean life. You will discover deeply rooted local traditions and learn about the social initiatives that shape this vibrant community. This is a unique opportunity to connect with the people of the Azores, starting your tour with a meaningful and personal experience that goes far beyond the typical sightseeing path. From the heart of the village, our path ascends into the breathtaking Sete Cidades volcanic complex. Prepare to be mesmerized at the iconic Vista do Rei viewpoint, where the legendary blue and green lakes unfold in a stunning panorama below. We will also pause at the serene Santiago Lake viewpoint for another perspective of this natural wonder. We then descend into the vast crater itself, where you will enjoy a peaceful walk through the tranquil village of Sete Cidades, nestled on the shores of the lake. To complete this unforgettable exploration of São Miguel, a special surprise stop awaits if time allows. We will visit either the dramatic Grota do Inferno viewpoint or the panoramic Pico do Carvão, each offering some of the most spectacular and sweeping island views imaginable.
