Sete Cidades Full-Day 4WD Tour from Ponta Delgada with Hiking

After exploring several lakes around the area with an all-terrain ride travel, along the craters of Sete Cidades, visit the small parish and then continue your way to the sea shore to witness the secondary volcano wonders of hot sea water. Set in the middle of a 3-mile (5-km) wide volcanic crater, Sete Cidades’ forest-blanketed slopes and lake scattered valleys are the ideal place for an off-road adventure. Explore the area with a local guide and make it a special afternoon with a Hiking Trail in Serra Devassa (2h, easy category). This short circular trail begins and ends opposite the Lagoa do Canário and takes about 2 hours to complete. When you reach the top of the hillside, you can see the Lagoa das Éguas to your left, and a small round lake to your right. A little further ahead you will come to a side turn leading to a vantage point, where you can view the two aforementioned lakes, on your left, and the Lagoa Rasa, on your right.
