Half Day Walking Tour around Sete Cidades Lagoon

The adventure begins in Ponta Delgada, where we leave towards Pico do Carvão. This trail, with about 5 km, starts at the entrance of Mata do Canário, it joins two sections of pre-existing trails and allows you to discover the various lakes in the western part of the island of São Miguel. In the first part of the walking tour, it’s possible to find ground vegetation, mainly grasses, and it is also possible to see the Muro das Nove Janelas, an ancient aqueduct that carried water to Ponta Delgada.

After an ascent through an area where the terrain is more irregular, we can observe a large part of the West side of the island, as well as the collapse crater of Sete Cidades. From this location, in days of really good weather, one can see a large part of the island of São Miguel. On the return to Ponta Delgada, it is possible to stop at the Viewpoint of Vista do Rei, where you will find a magnificent landscape, of the Lagoa Azul and Verde. Along the way back, we find green fields until the entrance of Ponta Delgada.
