Explore Volcanic Peaks and Thermal Pools on a Full Day Sete Cidades Hiking Adventure


Immerse yourself in the dramatic volcanic beauty of Sete Cidades on a comprehensive full day adventure across São Miguel Island. The journey begins with a scenic drive to the Pico do Carvão viewpoint, where you are greeted by expansive views of the immense volcanic caldera and the serene lakes resting within. From this vantage point, you will begin a guided hike along peaceful trails, passing the historic Carvão Aqueduct and the tranquil waters of Lagoa das Empadadas.


As you traverse the ridges, each step reveals more of the area's natural history, shaped by ancient volcanic forces that continue to define the island's landscape. The hike leads to the unforgettable Grota do Inferno viewpoint, where multiple lakes appear below, framed by steep, verdant caldera walls. This is widely considered one of the most impressive vistas in the Azores, offering a perfect setting to appreciate the scale and majesty of the volcanic terrain that surrounds you.


After descending into the village of Sete Cidades, you will enjoy a relaxing picnic lunch surrounded by nature, providing a moment to recharge before the afternoon's activities. The latter part of the day offers flexibility, allowing you to choose between a gentle walk or an electric bike ride along the lakeshores. During the summer months, there is also the exciting option to try stand up paddleboarding on the Blue Lake, adding an active and fun dimension to your exploration.


The day concludes at Ferraria, where you can unwind in naturally heated ocean pools, providing a soothing and therapeutic end to your adventure. This full day experience is perfect for those who want to combine physical activity with relaxation and deep exploration of the island's most iconic volcanic features. By blending hiking, local history, and unique thermal experiences, this tour ensures a complete and unforgettable journey through the heart of the Azores' natural wonders.
