VAN Tour - Nordeste | Full Day

Experience the wild and lesser-known side of São Miguel as you journey through the breathtaking landscapes of Nordeste, a region often called the island’s hidden treasure. Travel along mountain roads and scenic paths framed by deep valleys, dramatic cliffs, and endless shades of green, beginning with a stop at Salto do Cavalo, the highest point of the Furnas crater, where sweeping views stretch across Furnas, Povoação, and even Santa Maria on clear days.

Discover the island’s rich history and vibrant nature as you continue to Povoação, the oldest settlement on São Miguel, before following the spectacular north coast toward Nordeste. Learn why this area is considered the most flowery municipality in Portugal as you visit iconic viewpoints such as Ponta do Sossego, Ponta da Madrugada, and Vigia dos Barcos, each offering unforgettable coastal scenery. Explore Ribeira dos Caldeirões Natural Park with its waterfalls and windmills, and gain insight into conservation efforts at the Priolo Environmental Center, before returning to Ponta Delgada with lasting memories of São Miguel’s most unspoiled landscapes.
