Lace up your hiking shoes and embark on a walking tour of Sanguinho on this 6-hour guided tour from Ponta Delgada. Walk the trail next to the Ribeira stream through the forest, admire the waterfall of Salto do Prego and take a dip in its crystal-clear pool before continuing to the historic village of Povoação. A picnic lunch is included.
Starting point
The high point of the walk is Salto do Prego, a waterfall semi-hidden in the middle of the forest.
The village of Sanguinho was inhabited for more than a century by a relatively wealthy population that took refuge in this area due to the dangerous overflow of the Faial da Terra River. Twenty houses were built with pig pens, four sheds and a haystack.

It was a nice hike, the waterfall was a bit crowded the village was good. The guide, Paulina, was professional!
Pedro was an excellent guide and really made this hike special. He was full of energy and genuinely excited to be outdoors and sharing his knowledge. He took the time to stop and explain things along the way, and even helped us take pictures and look more closely at the nature around us. The hike itself was beautiful, with great weather and a gorgeous waterfall as the highlight. It was a little crowded around the waterfall with people swimming, but we found a peaceful spot nearby to enjoy the provided sandwich. We also explored Sanguinho village, stopped at a little café, and continued down toward the ocean. It was a great day and I highly recommend this walk. And if you get Pedro as your guide, you’re in for an even better experience!
A wonderful hike with our great guide (forgot her name (something like Nadine?) but there can’t be too many friendly and bubbly ladies from Germany as guides there). Waterfall was great stop for lunch and cooling off. Abandoned village special to see. A wonderful day in the Azores and a highlight for sure!
Beautiful walk to reach the waterfall and recharge with a picnic, ending the day in Sanguinho. A perfect day.
Due to airline travel issues we couldn’t make this hike and were past the cancellation timeline. In spite of that they made every effort to reschedule the hike later in the week. When that fell through they still gave us a refund. Can’t say anything about the hike, but their customer service is outstanding!!
Our small group of 4 had a wonderful adventure exploring Sao Miguel. We wanted to compliment our lovely tour guide Susanna from picos de aventura tour company. Over the last several days, Susanna has been an exceptional, highly skilled tour guide. She should be celebrated for her deep local knowledge of history, culture, and nature. She is welcoming, confident, and very friendly. Susanna is organized, attentive, and articulate. When she is not hosting clients, it is very obvious she is preparing and studying to supplement her knowledge of Azores. She was also able to adapt our plans based on weather and personal preferences. She was a very safe, responsible, and competent driver. In additional to her remarkable professionalism, Susanna has a wonderful personality and a great sense of humour. She is a very special person. We were very fortunate to have Susanna as our tour guide. We would highly recommend Susanna to all visitors. Thank you very much.
We enjoyed the hike to the waterfall and old village. The scenery was beautiful despite the rain during part of the hike. Philippe provided historical knowledge to help fill in the story of this beautiful island and did a wonderful job!
It was ok. Lots of driving for a short hike. Nice countryside. Colourful chicken in the way. Waterfall looks nice, we were unlucky to see murky water that day. Overall I would not say this your is a must… There are very many tours packed with local attractions. I suggest to add some other attractions to that day/tour to make it more appealing.
This is a very interesting walk of medium difficulty. Walking poles are useful. Our guide was very informative and knowledgeable, she drove us very competently and took us to several view points on the way back. Thank you.
