This is more than just a tour — it’s a personal experience. As a professional photographer and videographer, local guide, and marine biologist, I bring a unique perspective to each day. I truly enjoy meeting new people and creating meaningful connections, while capturing genuine moments and showing you the very best of São Miguel.

   At Lagoa do Fogo, one of the most breathtaking volcanic lakes in the Azores, we’ll explore different viewpoints to capture its raw beauty. Away from the main crowds, I’ll guide you to quieter spots where we can create natural and meaningful photos in one of the island’s most unique landscapes.

   In Furnas, we start with a stunning viewpoint over the volcanic valley, one of the most unique landscapes in the Azores.

The experience ends with a beautiful lakeside photoshoot, with the neo-Gothic chapel adding a distinctive and memorable setting.

   In Sete Cidades, we explore one of the most iconic volcanic landscapes in the Azores.
