Discover rocky beaches, lush green valleys, and spectacular volcanic formations, on this fantastic tour of Sao Jorge. You will explore one of the most impressive islands of the Azorean archipelago!
São Jorge Trip
We will pick you up from your hotel in São Jorge at 9:30 am before starting a tour full of surprises. First, we'll head to the Sete Fontes Forest Park, where we'll see plants such as azaleas, fuchsia, and cryptomerias.
Next, we will visit the volcanic formations of Ponta dos Rosais, a steep cape that rises 650 feet above sea level. We will continue to the Fajã de João Dias viewpoint to see the merge of dense vegetation and the Atlantic Ocean.
We will then visit the Beira Cheese Factory to observe the cheese-making process and have a tasting opportunity. At 12 pm, a stop will be made at a traditional restaurant for a buffet lunch.
After lunch, we will visit the church of Santa Barbara near Urzelina, and then travel through the São Jorge mountains to the Casa do Parque, where you can learn about the island's geology, biodiversity, and heritage.
The tour continues to Fajã do Ouvidor and the Simão Dias natural pool, where snorkeling may be available if the weather permits. We will also pass the Fajã dos Cubres, Caldeira Santo Cristo, and stop at Fajã dos Vimes to admire coastal coffee plantations.
The last stop is Ponta do Topo, offering views of the Atlantic Ocean and Topo Island. The tour concludes back in São Jorge at 5:30 pm at your hotel.
