Itinerary
The dirt trail tracing the rim of the Sete Cidades crater is an iconic feature of this breathtaking Azorean landscape. Winding along the edge of this massive volcanic caldera, the path offers some of the most spectacular and sought-after views in the Azores. This unpaved trail varies in width and condition, offering a more natural and rugged hiking experience compared to paved roads. As you follow it, the panorama unfolds continuously. On one side, the vast expanse of the crater floor stretches out, often shrouded in mist or patchwork with green pastures. On the other, the dramatic drop reveals the two legendary lakes – the vibrant green Lagoa Verde and the deep blue Lagoa Azul – potentially joined by a thin strip of land or water, depending on the season and viewpoint.
Sete Cidades, acclaimed as one of Portugal's 7 Natural Wonders, is a breathtaking volcanic caldera on São Miguel in the Azores. It's famed for its stunning twin lakes: the vibrant green Lagoa Verde and the deep blue Lagoa Azul. This legendary landscape, born from volcanic forces, captivates visitors with its sheer beauty and the poignant story of the lost shepherd's love that inspired its colours. A truly awe-inspiring natural masterpiece.
The Muro das Nove Janelas, or Wall of Nine Windows, is a unique and intriguing feature located near the stunning Sete Cidades crater on São Miguel Island in the Azores. This wall, constructed from local stone, is punctuated by nine distinct openings or "janelas," which are not typical windows but rather arches or embrasures.
Pico da Barrosa is a prominent volcanic peak in the western Azores, rising to 947m on São Miguel. This majestic mountain, offers a commanding view of the landscape. Its rugged slopes reveal the island's geological history. Hiking trails of varying difficulty lead visitors up, showcasing diverse flora and fauna, with viewpoints offering glimpses of the stunning scenery along the way. Reaching the summit rewards hikers with breathtaking panoramic vistas across the Atlantic Ocean, the coastline, and the lush interior of São Miguel. On clear days, neighboring islands like Santa Maria can be seen. The sense of accomplishment combined with the sheer beauty makes the climb worthwhile. Beyond hiking, Barrosa is a tranquil place rich in biodiversity, inviting contemplation and appreciation of nature. It offers an immersive experience blending adventure, scenic beauty, and a deep connection to natural wonders, capturing the essence of the Azores for all who explore it.
The Lagoa do Fogo Belvedere is a premier viewpoint offering one of the most stunning and iconic perspectives of Lagoa do Fogo on São Miguel Island in the Azores. Located strategically along the scenic road circling the lake, this belvedere provides an unobstructed, panoramic vista of the deep blue, almost circular lake nestled within its volcanic caldera. From here, visitors can fully appreciate the scale and dramatic beauty of Lagoa do Fogo, often capturing its perfectly mirrored surface reflecting the sky or the surrounding cliffs. The viewpoint is a popular stop, allowing ample opportunity to photograph the lake and simply marvel at the serene yet powerful natural landscape. It's an essential spot for anyone visiting the area, offering a perfect snapshot of the lake's crystalline waters and rugged surroundings.

Great driver. Very knowledgeable. Weather wasn’t super great with a lot of fog, and so he really tried to re-arrange order of tour in hopes of getting better views.
Thank you for your comment! We’re happy you enjoyed your tour in São Miguel, with us. It was a pleasure having you—come again soon for another unforgettable adventure!
Eduardo was a great guide and made our trip special. His local knowledge of the island made it possible to see and learn about areas we would not have on our own. His love for the nature and ecosystem provided great conversations on our journey.
Thank you for your review! We're glad you enjoyed the GreenZone jeep tour. Your feedback means a lot to our team!
Our day was amazing and surpassed what we could have imagined! Our tour guide Daniel was amazing!!! His knowledge, personality, hospitality, and love of the island made us never want to leave! We saw countless breathtaking viewpoints and learned so much about the Azoreans and many of the villages here. We had lunch at a local family-owned restaurant with an endless choice of the most delicious food we have eaten yet. Because of Daniel and how safe we felt, my fear of heights was not an issue…even on highest top points of the island. This is a tour that you do not want to miss!!! And ask for Daniel!

These guys are pros, from pickup to drop off our driver NuNu knew about exactly what we wanted and organized the day for us. We saw some of the most beautiful vistas and got to off-road a lot.
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment — it really means a lot to us! We put our heart into every tour and it's always amazing to hear from the people who join us on these adventures. Hope to see you back on the island soon!
Super fat jeep trip with the guide Daniel Cabral who could tell really good stories on the way around. Exciting experience to drive on the edge of the volcano with views of the Twin Lakes, visit to the city down in the volcano incl lunch and trip to the Lake of Fire.

A truly fantastic way to see beautiful points on the island. Our driver Miguel was unassuming, funny, and engaging, and riding off road in the Range Rover provided not to be forgotten sights and experiences. Highly recommend!
