Once you are picked up at your hotel, get ready for a half-day of exploring.

Half-day tour to Sete Cidades

After exploring several lakes around the area, hop on an all-terrain ride for travel along the craters of Sete Cidades. Visit the small local parish.

Cruise along the forested floor of a massive volcanic crater as you explore Sete Cidades with an experienced local guide. In a rugged 4x4 vehicle, ride between sparkling lakes and bounce down dirt roads that lead to sweeping viewpoints of this stunning and dramatic landscape.

Get picked up from your hotel in Ponta Delgada, where you can buckle into the seat of an off-road vehicle perfectly suited to tackle the area's rural roads and country lanes. As you ride, learn about Sete Cidades' geologic profile. In the center of a volcanic crater that stretches for over 3 miles (5 km), the village's lake-scattered valleys are filled with forests that emerged after an eruption in 500 AD
