Lagoa do Fogo Jipe- Half Day

Discover the heart of São Miguel on this thrilling Lagoa do Fogo Jeep Tour, where breathtaking landscapes and hidden gems await. Unlike conventional tours, this adventure takes you off the conventional roads to experience the island’s geothermal wonders and pristine nature up close.

Departing from Ponta Delgada, we travel along the scenic south coast, passing volcanic beaches and the sparkling blue waters of the Azorean sea. Our first stop is the Fábrica de Cerâmica Vieira, where you’ll witness the traditional craftsmanship of clay pottery, famously known as Louça da Lagoa.

Next, we head to Santa Bárbara Beach, a striking black-sand coastline and a world-class surfing destination. Continuing to Ribeira Grande, we explore its charming historic center before making our way to Ponta do Cintrão viewpoint, offering dramatic views of the island’s north coast and majestic cliffs.

From here, the real adventure begins as we ascend the Lagoa do Fogo mountain, navigating rugged dirt trails and jeep waterways. Along the way, we make an optional stop at Caldeira Velha Natural Park, a lush haven of endemic flora, where you can relax in its natural thermal pools, heated to a soothing 38°C.

Finally, we reach the iconic Lagoa do Fogo, one of São Miguel’s most stunning natural wonders and a protected reserve since 1974. From Pico da Barrosa, enjoy a panoramic view of the crater lake and the sweeping landscapes stretching to the south coast.
