Practical information

Discover the volcanic wonder of Sete Cidades and its breathtaking lagoons, hills, and lush landscapes—an ideal setting for an off-road jeep adventure.

Departing from Ponta Delgada, we head to the Sete Cidades volcano, stopping first at Pico do Carvão, where panoramic views of the island’s north coast await. We’ll pass a 19th-century aqueduct before hitting off-road trails up to Pico da Cruz (856m), offering stunning views over Lagoa das Sete Cidades (Green and Blue Lakes), Lagoa Rasa, and Lagoa de Santiago.

We continue along the caldera rim with a stop at Cumeeiras Viewpoint, known for its sweeping view over the crater, the lakes, and the village below. Then, we descend into Sete Cidades village for a coffee break and explore the peaceful shores of the lagoon.

On our return to Ponta Delgada, we make one final stop at the famous Vista do Rei viewpoint, one of the most iconic photo spots on the island.
