What to expect

The trail start in the parish of Água D’Alto, on the south coast of São Miguel Island.

Begin the route passing through various pastures, leading you to areas where you can see different types of vegetation, such as cryptomeria and heather. Enjoy panoramic views of the first village on São Miguel Island, Vila Franca do Campo, well-known for its islet.

Pass the water levada, with its beautiful reflections of vegetation, used from ancient times to the present day to transport water. Marvel at untouched nature, mountains, and endemic vegetation, such as heather, until you reach the Lagoa do Fogo.

Lunch will be by the lake shores, allowing you to appreciate the crystal-clear water of one of Portugal’s natural reserves. Experience a descent, during which you can admire hydrangeas and enjoy a view of the island’s south coast.

End the day by relaxing in a calm spot. Depending on weather conditions, group skills, and participants interests, the guide may suggest various places to visit, including beaches, the Caloura locality, Vila Franca do Campo, or other spots where you can opt for a drink.
