Itinerary
The dirt trail tracing the rim of the Sete Cidades crater is an iconic feature of this breathtaking Azorean landscape. Winding along the edge of this massive volcanic caldera, the path offers some of the most spectacular and sought-after views in the Azores. This unpaved trail varies in width and condition, offering a more natural and rugged hiking experience compared to paved roads. As you follow it, the panorama unfolds continuously. On one side, the vast expanse of the crater floor stretches out, often shrouded in mist or patchwork with green pastures. On the other, the dramatic drop reveals the two legendary lakes – the vibrant green Lagoa Verde and the deep blue Lagoa Azul – potentially joined by a thin strip of land or water, depending on the season and viewpoint.
Sete Cidades, acclaimed as one of Portugal's 7 Natural Wonders, is a breathtaking volcanic caldera on São Miguel in the Azores. It's famed for its stunning twin lakes: the vibrant green Lagoa Verde and the deep blue Lagoa Azul. This legendary landscape, born from volcanic forces, captivates visitors with its sheer beauty and the poignant story of the lost shepherd's love that inspired its colours. A truly awe-inspiring natural masterpiece.
The Muro das Nove Janelas, or Wall of Nine Windows, is a unique and intriguing feature located near the stunning Sete Cidades crater on São Miguel Island in the Azores. This wall, constructed from local stone, is punctuated by nine distinct openings or "janelas," which are not typical windows but rather arches or embrasures.
Pico da Barrosa is a prominent volcanic peak in the western Azores, rising to 947m on São Miguel. This majestic mountain, offers a commanding view of the landscape. Its rugged slopes reveal the island's geological history. Hiking trails of varying difficulty lead visitors up, showcasing diverse flora and fauna, with viewpoints offering glimpses of the stunning scenery along the way. Reaching the summit rewards hikers with breathtaking panoramic vistas across the Atlantic Ocean, the coastline, and the lush interior of São Miguel. On clear days, neighboring islands like Santa Maria can be seen. The sense of accomplishment combined with the sheer beauty makes the climb worthwhile. Beyond hiking, Barrosa is a tranquil place rich in biodiversity, inviting contemplation and appreciation of nature. It offers an immersive experience blending adventure, scenic beauty, and a deep connection to natural wonders, capturing the essence of the Azores for all who explore it.
The Lagoa do Fogo Belvedere is a premier viewpoint offering one of the most stunning and iconic perspectives of Lagoa do Fogo on São Miguel Island in the Azores. Located strategically along the scenic road circling the lake, this belvedere provides an unobstructed, panoramic vista of the deep blue, almost circular lake nestled within its volcanic caldera. From here, visitors can fully appreciate the scale and dramatic beauty of Lagoa do Fogo, often capturing its perfectly mirrored surface reflecting the sky or the surrounding cliffs. The viewpoint is a popular stop, allowing ample opportunity to photograph the lake and simply marvel at the serene yet powerful natural landscape. It's an essential spot for anyone visiting the area, offering a perfect snapshot of the lake's crystalline waters and rugged surroundings.

5Sergio is so good at what...
Sergio is so good at what he does! Fun personality, knowledgeable, professional, and a good sense of humor. He took us all over São Miguel via Jeep, and his driving skills were excellent. Sergio took such good care of us, plus 4 others, sharing fascinating information and answering our many questions, all while keeping us feeling safe as he drove on many different terrains. We highly recommend Sergio and Greenzone Azores for an amazing overview of São Miguel!
5Sete-Cidades
Thank you Ricardo for an amazing day touring Sete-Cidades, we had a fabulous time; truly spectacular scenery!!
5Fantastic tour
My friend and I booked a Jeep tour with Greenzone. We were on the jeep with three other people, and our guide was Eduardo P. We went to Lagoa do Fogo and Lagoa das Sete Cidades - some really beautiful and quiet places with fantastic views, and we also had a very nice local lunch. We really recommend this tour. Eduardo is a really good guide, who knows a great deal about the Island, he tells a lot throughout the day, is easy to talk to and he has a great Sense of humour too. He really gave us the best expierence in the Azores. If you consider exploring Sao Miguel we Can highly recommend Greenzone and Eduardo, and they have so many different tours around the island. We just wish we had more time :)
5Great Day Out
We took this day tour with a great guide (Mario) who was both fun & informative. The locations speak for themselves at each stop all very breath-taking, we were in a jeep with 4 other people, some travel in off-road so can be bumpy. The lunch is a filling buffet(drinks included). A great day, ensure you enjoy the full vista on the journey, not just the destinations. Expensive (90 euros/person) but all in all so much to see.
5Don't miss this Greezone Tour with Eduardo Pereira
I am long overdue to write a review of our Jeep Tour with Greenzone and a thank you to our guide, Eduardo Pereira. When you embark on a day-long tour, 9-5, you want to enjoy the sites and your guide. Eduardo made sure we had a fantastic adventure. This was the first time my husband and I have been to this beautiful island. My husband surprised me, planned every excursion, hotel and restaurant. It was one of the most memorable trips of my life. Eduardo added so much to this tour, Sete Cidades & Lagoa do Fogo. He has a deep respect for the natural beauty of the island and for all its stunning plants and animals. My husband and I were joined by a family we first met at the airport and we were happy to see them again on our tour. They joined us for just the first half of the day and we had a private tour the second have of the day. We were lucky with the weather and were able to see everything we wanted to see. We learned from other travelers that fog can sometimes keep you from seeing the sights (and even landing or taking off from airport). We had perfect weather and company. My husband and I enjoyed learning more about Eduardo over a delicious lunch. If you have the chance to visit São Miguel, don't miss this tour. If you want a day you will remember forever, ask for Eduardo Pereira.
2Painfull
When choosing the tour, I had two options the jeep or ATV. I chose the jeep as I wanted a bit of comfort. The tour was good (what i could see), the guide was also good. Make sure you have cash. I was told in my instructions that cash or card, fortunately I did have cash. My issue with the tour was as I was the last pick-up, I had to sit in the rear section of an old land rover defender. With me being 6 foot plus. This was more than uncomfortable for an 8 hour tour of the island. My head was hitting the roof and smashing the side of the car. I miss so much of the tour as I couldn't see out of a window. The tour guide at one stage asked if I wanted to leave the vehicle while he took the others up a crater. If I was a child sitting in the of a defender would be amazing. However, having whet felt like having you knees up by your ears while your back felt every bump, speed ramp and pot hole. This trip was physical torture.
