Along the trail you can enjoy panoramic views of the first village on the island of São Miguel, Vila Franca do Campo, so well known for its magnificent

Then you will pass through the stream of water, with its beautiful reflections of vegetation, used from ancient times to the present day for transporting water.

At the end of the climb, marvel at the majestic mountains and abundant endemic vegetation until you reach the most awaited place, Lagoa do Fogo. Lunch will be next to the banks of the lagoon, while enjoying the crystal clear water of one of Portugal's nature reserves. When you return you will have a steep descent, along which you can contemplate the hydrangeas and the view of the south coast of the island

End the day relaxing in a quiet spot or by the sea. Depending on the weather conditions, the group's abilities and the participants' interest, the guide can suggest several places to visit.
