Day 1: Arrival

Day 2: Sete Cidades Caldera

• You can travel to Sete Cidades for the full day, with lunch included on your trip. The caldera, formed from a tremendous eruption in 1445, is steep, miles across, and filled with a serene blue lake. The high crater walls are covered in lush vegetation, making an awe-inspiring sight. The caldera also features a charming small hamlet, with a neo-Gothic style church.

Day 3: Furnas Hot Springs

• You will travel to Lagoa do Fogo, a lake formed from a volcanic eruption in 1563, over a mile across, and featuring a natural peninsula, white sand beach, and transparent waters. Halfway up the crater wall, a steaming fumarole makes for a hot bath at 38 °C with a natural cascade.
• Ribeira Grande is a historic town on the northern coast of Sao Miguel, picturesquely placed over a volcanic plateau on the sea, with great examples of 17th and 18th century architecture. The town features an 8 arch bridge from the 18th century, still standing.

Day 5: Nordeste

• Next you can travel to the remote location of Nordeste, largely unspoilt by development and elevated with fantastic views of the Atlantic sea.
