All about the trip

When approaching our trail we will stop in one of the most spectaculars views of the huge Caldeira of Sete-Cidades: the viewpoint of Grota do Inferno. Then in the viewpoint of Vista do Rei we start our hike through the south rim experiencing beautiful views from the lakes and also from the Ocean. After 5 km walking at the rim we will start to descend to the main crater. At Sete-Cidades village you will enjoy your picnic and the quietness of the small village. For some moments we will walk side by side with the Green Lake and then start our ascending towards Vista do Rei where you will experience again amazing views from the lakes. After this, we will move in a direction of Ferraria where it is possible to enjoy some hot baths at the ocean (depending on the conditions and tide) and also some snorkeling.

Instructions

Azorean weather can change drastically during the same day. Hiking in the mountains can be totally different from hiking at the sea level. It is important to be prepared for high levels of humidity that can be combined with heat and also for wind and rain that can be combined with low temperatures in the mountains. Please consider the pick up time as 15 minutes prior and after the departure time of your excursion.

What to take with you?

We recommend wearing long hiking trousers to protect yourself from scratches. This trail can be quite muddy and slippery in some areas with some tall steps. Please also bring swimwear and towel, suitable and comfortable clothing and footwear (please note this is important to protect yourself from the wind, the sun and rain. In the mountains it can also get cold), sunblock and hat, your personal water bottle, backpack to carry your personal things and lunch. Please note it is important to bring the right equipment, clothes, and footwear.
