Tour Options

During the booking process, you'll have the choice between different hiking routes. All of them have a duration of 4 hours and include pickup from Rua da Esperança 14A, return transfer, transport by minibus, an English-speaking guide, and lunch.

Four Lakes

Choosing this route, you'll go on an 8-kilometer walk that begins between the Caldeira Negra and Comprida lagoons, two volcanic lakes surrounded by native vegetation. From one of the viewpoints, you'll also be able to see the Seca and Branca lagoons. Along the way, you'll see some species like camellias, lilies, prickly pears, and oleanders. This route will finish in Fajã Grande and Poço de Bacalhau, where you'll have the chance to take a refreshing dip.

Lajedo & Poço Ribeira do Ferreiro

This route begins in the village of Lajedo right next to the municipality's parish church, an 18th-century gem. From here, we'll follow a 7.8-kilometer path through green meadows. Your guide will tell you the most relevant facts about the island, like the fact that this coastal area is where the RMS Slavonia was shipwrecked. Then, we'll visit Poço Ribeira do Ferreiro, a natural space full of waterfalls among the rocks.

Ponta Ruiva & Santa Cruz de las Flores

With this option, you'll leave from Ponta Ruiva in the direction of Alagoa, a beautiful bay where you'll see the most spectacular rock formations. You'll also cross through all types of crop fields on this 8-kilometer route, concluding with your arrival at Santa Cruz de las Flores, a municipality in the north of the island.
