Sete Cidades and Lagoa do Fogo

We'll meet up at Avenida João Bosco Mota Amaral and head out of Ponta Delgada towards the Lagoa do Fogo lagoon, a natural treasure known as a crater lake. While learning about its volcanic geography, we will admire the breathtaking views of the lagoon and its surroundings. The area is protected from construction to maintain its beauty.

After enjoying the views from various viewpoints at Lagoa do Fogo, we'll proceed to the northwest of the island to see the Sete Cidades lagoon and crater, which translates to seven cities.

The Lagoa das Sete Cidades lagoon consists of two halves: the Blue Lagoon and the Green Lagoon. We will cross the bridge connecting both sides to appreciate the contrasting colors of this natural feature.

We will pause for a buffet lunch at a local restaurant, providing an opportunity to sample the island's cuisine. After lunch, we will follow the southwestern coastline back to Ponta Delgada.
