Sensations & emotions at Lagoa do Fogo
Jeep Tour to Lagoa do Fogo – Half day
Sao Miguel islandFor those eager to temper their blood with adrenaline, we saved the jeep tour as it is the only way to reach unimaginable places!
The jeep will take you to the amazing Natural Reserve of Lagoa do Fogo, taking the south road in São Miguel. On top of a headland, you will be able to envisage both sides of the island – it is, literally, driving oneself to the outmost natural beauty!
The impressive view of Lagoa do Fogo, one of the most faithful specimens of what the islands were before a human footprint, depicts the tremendous power of the earthy nature that created the archipelago.
Still onboard, you will head to the luxuriant reserve where Caldeira Velha is located. Have a thermal bath in the heart of the forest and, after, enjoy the refreshing sight of the waterfall in Salto do Cabrito.
