Tour To Sete Cidades
Today we explore the most western part of the island, where the mountains and lagoon of the Seven Cities are located. A small stop will be made at the viewpoint of Vista do Rei, one of the most important panoramic views of the island. Photos will not do justice while you look down into the famous lagoon, asleep inside a huge volcanic crater.
Then, we will get a different perspective by exploring the lagoon by e-bike. Immerse yourself in this breathtaking scenery, which will be sure to offer postcard images in every direction!
Afterwards, we continue with a visit and free time for lunch at the village of the Sete Cidades, an authentic portrait of rural Micaelense. Return to the the hotel in the mid-afternoon for leisure time, or to enjoy the amenities on site.

Jeep Tour To Furnas & Thermal Bath
Start your morning off with a beautiful wellness session and breakfast by the sea. After checking out, we will head to Furnas Valley, which is inserted in one of the three active central volcanoes of San Miguel island. At the heart of the town is a crater lake surrounded by smoking fumaroles famous for its local “cozido” dish being cooked by the heat of the earth. On the west bank of Furnas Lagoon is the Chapel of Our Lady of Victories, which offers an impressive example of the Neo-Gothic style, unique throughout the archipelago
In the afternoon, we will visit the volcano boilers and the village. The next stop is Terra Nostra Park, a bicentennial garden with unique species and a splendid thermal pool, where we will suggest a relaxing bath. The park is a unique repository of trees, plants, and other plants species from around the world. After arrival and checking in at the hotel, you will be given time to relax and enjoy the hotel amenities.
