Embracing Lagoa do Fogo natural world
Van Tour to Lagoa do Fogo – Half day
Sao Miguel islandWith a customized service, attentive to the satisfaction and level of detail that it provides, we offer you this tour, a ride of companionship and shared enthusiasm.
In a van tour, the adventure goes hand-in-hand with rest, with the quietness of the places, and with the intrinsic quality of life present in moments of enjoyment, delight, and fulfillment – as a thermal bath in a forest.
Climbing the roads where centennial trees profile, as sentinels from the past, we will reach the mountain top, a viewpoint that unveils, before your eyes, the almost violent beauty of the lagoon alighted in the bottom of the crater.
In the hillside, and all around, there will be a blue curtain of the purest air only sliced by the calling of the seagulls and by the whisper of the wind in the treetops.
No-worries tour
Avoid the stress of driving and let us guide you to wonderful places.
