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 will see various plants including azaleas, fuchsia, and cryptomerias.

Next, we will visit the volcanic formations of Ponta dos Rosais, a steep cape 650 feet above sea level. Following this, we will go to the Fajã de João Dias viewpoint to see the dense vegetation merging with the Atlantic.

We will also visit the Beira Cheese Factory to learn about cheese production and taste it. At 12 pm, we will enjoy a buffet lunch at a traditional restaurant.

After lunch, we will head to the church of Santa Barbara near Urzelina, then travel through the São Jorge mountains to the Casa do Parque, where you can learn about the island's geology and biodiversity.

We will then visit Fajã do Ouvidor and the Simão Dias natural pool. Weather permitting, we will snorkel in the clear waters. Later, we will pass the Fajã dos Cubres, Caldeira Santo Cristo, and stop at Fajã dos Vimes to admire its coffee plantations by the sea.
