VAN Tour - Sete Cidades Lakes | Half Day

Experience the magic of São Miguel as you journey from Ponta Delgada into the heart of the Sete Cidades volcanic complex, one of the island’s most extraordinary natural landscapes. Traveling through winding mountain roads, you will reach panoramic viewpoints such as Pico do Carvão, where sweeping views over the north coast reveal the island’s dramatic contours. Along the way, you will encounter a historic nineteenth-century aqueduct, an impressive example of traditional engineering that once played a vital role in the island’s water distribution, adding cultural depth to this nature-focused adventure.

Discover the legendary viewpoints of Vista do Rei and the peaceful beauty of Santiago Lagoon before descending into the charming village of Sete Cidades, set between the iconic blue and green lakes. Take time to explore the parish, enjoy a relaxed coffee stop, and absorb the tranquil atmosphere shaped by volcanic forces. Continuing along the west coast, the tour reveals stunning ocean views from the Escalvado Viewpoint, overlooking Mosteiros and the remarkable Ferraria area, where land and Atlantic Ocean meet in dramatic harmony, before returning comfortably to Ponta Delgada.
