Description

The eastern half of São Miguel island offers some of the most magical and interesting places the Azores have to offer! From incredible scenic views, to walking around the volcanic fields, bathing in hot springs, or tasting a unique dish, this tour is full of unforgettable experiences! Hit the road towards the East island, and start on a high note with one of the most beautiful coastal lookouts of the island, Santa Iria, with an ample view of the north coast in both directions. Continue to Furnas, stopping first at a splendid view over the lake and town. Make your way down to the lake shore, and marvel at the steamy mud pools. In this area, you'll also see the holes where the cozido stew is buried to be slow cooked by the volcano steam, before tasting it at a local restaurant! Still in Furnas, you'll first be given the choice between bathing in the hot springs (fee not included) or visiting the geothermal field and sparkling waters of Furnas town. After lunch, continue the journey east, with a stop at the charming waterfall of Ribeira dos Caldeirões.  Then arrive at Nordeste, the most unexplored and rural part of the island. Visit two amazing lookouts over the high cliffs that characterize the East coast of São Miguel, before returning to Ponta Delgada.
