Begin your adventure when you board your 4WD vehicle in Ponta Delgada and embark on your exploration to Sao Miguel, not often visited by tourists, as well as some of the most beautiful parts of the island. Join this half day tour led by guides who are experienced in the natural history and ecology of the area. The ruggedness of the high mountains, covered with trees native to the area, hydrangeas and other varieties of vegetation contrast with the softness of the valleys, running streams and small villages. This way of discovering and touring the island will put you in contact with the local population and nature, far from the daily commotion of city life.
