The Island’s West end is truly awe-inspiring. It’s a location you would hate to skim through or overlook altogether. Devoting an entire day to explore this part of the island can’t be stressed enough.
The optimal vantage points for caldera and lake vistas are tucked away from the main road, making them a challenge to discover. However, with this experience, you get to immerse in all these spots, which is quite achievable in half a day with a local guiding you.
During our tour, we’ll take in views of Sete Cidades lakes, from various heights of the mountain, and also get to enjoy the picturesque views of Santiago, Canário and Empadadas lakes, including the incredible Grota do Inferno.
Our journey then takes us to the island’s darkest sand beach, along with breathtaking natural pools, located in Mosteiros. If it’s summer, you get the exciting chance to take a quick, refreshing dip in the crystal clear waters, or you could save the diving experience for the open sea thermal pool, warmed by the Volcano’s steam during low tide, at Ferraria. Our exploratory journey concludes with a visit to the island’s king at the Pineapple Plantation!
