Sete Cidades and Lagoa do Fogo

We'll meet at Avenida João Bosco Mota Amaral and depart from Ponta Delgada towards the interior, visiting the Lagoa do Fogo lagoon, a notable crater lake. As we learn about the volcanic geography, we will enjoy views of the lagoon and its surroundings, preserved by local authorities who prohibit construction nearby.

After visiting Lagoa do Fogo, we will continue to the northwest of the island to see the Sete Cidades lagoon and crater. The name translates to seven cities.

The Lagoa das Sete Cidades lagoon comprises the Blue Lagoon and the Green Lagoon. We will cross the bridge connecting both halves to appreciate the contrasting colors.

We will stop for a buffet lunch at a local restaurant, offering a taste of the island's cuisine. After lunch, we will return along the southwestern coastline back to Ponta Delgada.
