Practical information

Explore São Miguel’s wild side on a Jeep tour to Lagoa do Fogo, blending nature, culture, and off-road adventure.

The tour begins in Ponta Delgada, heading along the scenic south coast toward our first stop, the Fábrica de Cerâmica Vieira, known for its traditional Azorean pottery.

We continue to the black-sand Santa Bárbara Beach, a favorite among surfers, and explore the charming town of Ribeira Grande, before enjoying dramatic coastal views from the Ponta do Cintrão viewpoint.

The off-road journey begins as we ascend to Lagoa do Fogo, following rugged dirt paths through mountain terrain. On the way, there's an optional stop at Caldeira Velha Natural Park, where you can soak in warm thermal pools surrounded by lush vegetation.

We finish the climb at Pico da Barrosa, where sweeping views over the Lagoa do Fogo crater lake and south coast complete this unforgettable adventure.

The tour ends back in Ponta Delgada, leaving you with a deeper connection to São Miguel’s raw natural beauty.
