The island of São Miguel is a perfect destination for outdoor enthusiasts in search of superb landscapes to enjoy their activities in the Azores! With this guided hike to the Salto do Prego waterfall, Sanguinho, Furnas and the island's thermal baths, you can easily explore the region in complete safety. Professional guides will take care of the organisation for you, including transport to and from Ponta Delgada, a tasty picnic and advice and guidance for your 2.5 hours hike in São Miguel.

For a whole day, you'll have the chance to discover volcanic landscapes, waterfalls and panoramic views of the island of São Miguel and the Atlantic Ocean. The Salto do Prego hike starts in Faial da Terra, in the municipality of Povoação in the south-east of the island. From here, you'll walk through orchards and over wooden bridges to the Salto do Prego waterfall, where you can enjoy the beauty of the place and take a dip if you wish. On the way back, you'll come across the ancient village of Sanguinho. This village has been abandoned for decades, giving it the unique atmosphere of a ghost town. On your way there, you'll be able to admire breathtaking panoramas of the island and the ocean.

At midday, you'll enjoy a picnic lunch in the heart of nature before setting off to explore the parish of Furnas, a must-see site and one of the most visited on the island of São Miguel. In fact, with its various manifestations of volcanism, Furnas has plenty to impress you: fumaroles, hot springs, a river with ferruginous water and even cold springs!

To round off your guided hike to Salto do Prego and Sanguinho in style, you can choose to relax in one of the island's famous termal baths. You can choose between the Terra Nostra park, with its historic gardens and large hot-water pool, or Poça da Dona Beija, a comfortable area with several open-air thermal pools. Afterwards, you'll return to Ponta Delgada refreshed and full of memories!

Enjoy a full day's hiking in São Miguel in the Azores and explore the varied sites of this green volcanic island with a professional guide!
