Highlights

Follow São Miguel’s rivers and waterfalls on a full-day small-group nature tour through some of the island’s lushest landscapes. Explore Cascata do Limbo, hike the Moinho do Félix trail, visit secluded Praia da Viola, discover Barragem da Fajã do Redondo and finish at Salto do Cabrito. The day combines short hikes, forest trails, waterfalls and coastal scenery, with a picnic lunch prepared by a local restaurant and enjoyed outdoors along the route. Travel with a local guide in a modern 100% electric van, with a maximum of 8 guests per vehicle. Some paths are uneven, muddy or slippery after rain, so a moderate level of fitness and suitable footwear are recommended.
