Practical information

On this tour you'll explore the village of Sete Cidades, which is justifiably famous for the beauty of its lagoons and surrounding hills. At the mountain top two impressive lagoons have formed in the volcanic caldera (basin) one with blue water and the other green (Lagoa Azul and Lagoa Verde) an incredible natural phenomenon and a sight not to be missed!

Along the way you'll also take in many other picturesque spots, including lakes (Lagoa das Empadadas, Lagoa de Santiago) and sights less well known but well worth a visit due to their natural beauty.

After exploring the area of the Sete Cidades, you'll visit the coastal village of Mosteiros, which boasts natural swimming pools, a fishing harbor and beach of striking, black basalt sand. On returning to Ponta Delgada you'll also visit the area of Ginetes and Ferraria, a bathing area where the sea water is warm due to fumaroles (hot steam geysers) off the coast.

These are just a selection of the places waiting to be discovered when you travel with Trails of Nature into the wild beauties of the island!
