Dive into the details and see what makes this experience truly unique.

The adventure starts in Ponta Delgada with a drive to the Pico do Carvão viewpoint. This 5 km trail begins at the entrance of Mata do Canário, offering a chance to explore several lakes in the western part of São Miguel Island.

Early on, hikers can observe ground vegetation, mainly grasses, and visit the historic Wall of Nine Windows, an old aqueduct that supplied water to Ponta Delgada. The trail continues over uneven terrain, providing panoramic views of the island’s west side and the Sete Cidades crater.

On clear days, much of São Miguel Island can be seen. On the return to Ponta Delgada, there is a stop at Vista do Rei viewpoint to admire the stunning Blue and Green Lakes.
