Seven Cities, a place of legends. Seven Cities, perhaps the most emblematic place in San Miguel, this is "only" one of the seven wonders of Portugal. Place of legends and stories, where each one is a King or Queen. This is a place to store through a photograph, or perhaps as someone once said ": no photograph can portray such beauty, I prefer to keep what my eye sees in mind:' Admire the nature and relax on a thermal bath at Fire Lake, prepare yourself for a full day full of surprises. 

Inclusions: Local guide, Lunch, Hotel pickup, Hotel drop-off

Exclusions: Gratuities, Thermal pool entrance fees

I booked a last minute tour with Miguel for a private visit of the Island and it was just wonderful! He was very accommodating, lovely to talk to and willing to make the experience as nice as possible for the client. I had a few places in mind I really wanted to visit and he managed to find a way to take me to all of them. He is also very knowledgeable about the island and had a few anecdotes in his sleeves ;) I truly cannot recommend him enough and will definitely call him again whenever I come back to Ponta Delgada.

We picked the all-in-one tour which included Twin Lakes, fire Lakes and furnas. We were greeted at the cruise ship terminal with our name on a board. After everyone arrived we took off in a van and proceeded to sightsee this Island. Besides the beauty of the island one thing that stood out to us was how clean it was, we did not see any litter on the highway,roads or anywhere. We spent the day zipping here and there giving us enough time to get out and look around at each stop. Now that we have seen the island if we ever go back we would like to just strictly go to the hot springs/bath and enjoy a meal that has been cooked in the ground. Their van was comfortable and tour guides were pleasant and happily answered any questions asked.

The plantation is beautiful and the information regarding the process is educational. However, the experience only took around 15 minutes. There was no speaker or guide and the equipment was not running when we were there.

Beginning the tour from the South of San Miguel, visit the Ceramica Vieira factory and see how local pottery is made. Witness the cultural process and look around for souvenirs. The next stop takes you up the mountain of Lagoa do Fogo. Then head down to the Caldeira Velha, a small garden where you can bathe yourself in warm water heated by the volcano. Feeling refreshed after the bath, head next to the Ribeira Grande, a city where you can taste several liqueurs produced by Mulher from the Capote Factory. Eat a unique lunch at Lagoa, with their traditionally inspired cuisine. After lunch head out to see more of the natural features of the island. Stop and see the Sete Cidades Volcano, with more magnificent views over various lagoons. The tour will finish at the Augusto Arruda's Pineapple Plantation, where you will be able to see how local pineapples are produced.

We had two great tours (one 'solo' to Furnas and east, one w/ 3 other random couples to Sete Cidades) with Samuel Rego of Greencorner Tours, who grew up on Sao Miguel. Not only knowledgeable he is a great guy to spend a day with, speaking excellent English and a good conversationalist. He was also a good driver, no small thing with mountainous roads. We would highly recommend seeing Sao Miguel with Sam!
