Excursion

Seth Cidades and Hot Ocean

10:00 We will travel to the western part of the island, driving along a mountain road and through an observation deck where you can admire the view of the narrowest part of the island. The journey will continue to "Vista do Rei" - the famous site of the island with a magnificent view of the Sete Cidades valley with blue and green lakes. We will walk through a beautiful park with amazing views of the volcanic lakes, go down to Lake Canariu, then go to the Sete Cidades valley and drive between the colored lakes.

Lunch at a local restaurant.

After lunch we will look at the postcard town of Musteiros from above and take beautiful photographs.

You must have heard about the unique, only place in the world called the “hot ocean”, where ocean water mixes with an underwater hot spring, swimming there is a real pleasure!
That's where we'll go.

If the weather permits, you can swim (the ocean will not be warm yet, since it only heats up during low tide, and the low tide will be late, but the water temperature is comfortable, about 20-21º). The place itself and its lunar landscape are worth a visit.

Before returning to the city, we will visit pineapple plantations, with greenhouses in which pineapples are at different stages of growth and find out why they are so special.
