What's included

Itinerary

1. Nothing better than starting our tour in a sweet and traditional way. The Ananás dos Açores, also known as "King of the Azores", is a fruit of Protected Designation of Origin (DOP), produced exclusively on the Island of São Miguel. It goes through 8 different production methods that last close to two years. Furthermore, Pineapple from the Azores contains anti-cancer properties. In this place you will have the opportunity to visit each different production process and even taste the wonderful pineapple.
2. At this viewpoint, get ready to hold your breath and make the most of the fresh air from one of the highest viewpoints in the area. With the well-known Abandoned Hotel Monte Palace at the forefront, the Miradouro da Vista do Rei is the perfect place to relax after visiting the island's fantastic green paths. Get lost in the landscape and take photos to remember one of the most beautiful places on the island.
3. After the Miradouro da Vista do Rei, we went down towards the village of Sete Cidades to get closer to the Lagoa and visit the Church of São Nicolau.
4. After spending some time in Sete Cidades, we stopped again at one of the most beautiful viewpoints on São Miguel Island. The Ponta do Escalvado Viewpoint, which gives us a privileged view of the Ilhéus dos Mosteiros, is the perfect place to disconnect, listen to the birds and receive the light breeze from the Azores sea.
5. As the last stop on our tour, we go to the most southwestern part of São Miguel Island. Integrated into the Regional Natural Monument of Pico das Camarinhas and Ponta da Ferraria, this nature protection zone is made up of several structures of volcanic origin of great scenic and scientific value. At low tide, the sea water itself can reach a temperature of 30ºCelsius, which creates a fantastic experience that is difficult to repeat in another part of the world.
