Travel time already included in total duration. An imposing double waterfall with about 40 meters, located in a Ribeira called Ribeira Grande. Here the smell of nature lives all around us, a space that reminds the movie Jurassic Park.

We walked about 5 minutes to observe the slender waterfall of the beach of the mills located in Porto Formoso. The famous hortens will be present on our route a lot of vegetation around them.

Admission included20 min

The famous waterfall of the Salto da Farinha surrounded by Basalt and an invasive plant (Leaf of Conteira). We can see the sea at the other end. The contrast between the blue of the sea, the green of nature, the noise of birds, the smell of nature. A perfect space to be contemplated.

120 min

Cascades from Felix' mills. In this trio we walk about two hours first to descend and then to climb we will observe 3 wonderful waterfalls. The Cave Falls, the Mill Falls and the Man's Falls. Needless to say, no camera would do justice to the beauty of this place. We walked a bit but in the end is worth all the effort, because we are gifted with an endless phenomenal beauty.

Waterfalls and breathtaking views!

I was lucky enough to get a private tour with Artur who was a very informative and friendly guide who showed me such beautiful spots around the island including waterfalls, tea plantations and small villages besides breathtaking vistas high over the ocean. I highly recommend this tour!

A knowledgable and friendly guide, Artur took us to all the best places to visit. Loves by the locals we were always greeted with warm smiles and no waiting. If you are visiting the Azores and need a fluent English speaking local, he is the best!

Arthur was a fabulous guide. I had seen many places on other tours so he made sure I did not repeat any sites, creating a tour just for me! He is the best of Sao Miguel Island and genuinely a great person.
