Miradouro da Grota do Inferno
Day 5
Day 1 - Hiking Ceta Cidades & Miradouro da Boco do Inferno + Whalewatching: As we will have our own transport our starting time on the first morning is flexible, so please take advantage of the breakfast before we begin. As long as we arrive at our first destination at a reasonable time to be able to take full advantage of the beautiful scenery at Ceta Cidades and Miradouro da Boco do Inferno, then we are on the right track for a great first day. Don't forget we will be whale watching at Terro do Pico after our hike, so if you are prone to sea sickness then best bring something to aid against it.

Lagoa do Fogo
Day 5
Day 2 - Discover Lagoa De Fogo: After another terrific breakfast let's check out Lagoa De Fogo! A beautiful lake in the centre of the island. But first let's start at the coast and work our way up to it, but why stop there!? We will be passing by this beautiful lake, being also the highest lake on the island, once a volcano that collapsed 5000 years ago we will walk around its crater walls and visit its sandy beaches before we head north to visit the beautiful waterfall at Cascato do Salto do Cabrito. A chance to swim in its cool waters before heading down to Caldeira Velha hot springs. Post the springs, we head out for an evening meal and then end the night. Note: The sulfuric water at the natural thermal baths will stain your swim wear so bring something old or black, I am sure our walk back to the car will be a very floaty one:)
4
Vila Franca do Campo
Day 5
Day 3 - Hiking Vila Franca: Our final hiking day will be a mix of hiking and driving, swimming and eating! Starting with a boat to an incredible island called Islet of Vila Franca, a tiny island with a volcano crater making up half of its size. Afterwards we head east to Miradouro da Ponta do Sossego, a beautiful park high up on the cliffs which also affords stunning views of the ocean and the occasional whale if we are lucky. Then a change to go to Furnas town and try their earth cooked stew. Yes, it's cooked in the ground! A tour including amazing views, waterfalls and a tea plantation will take us to the end of our final day on Sao Miguel. Our last evening together will I'm sure be full of fine food and drink.

Ponta Delgada
Day 5
Day 4 - Head back home: Post breakfast, we head to the airport, say our goodbye's and then head back home after a fantastic 4 days of hiking & exploring Azores. Hopefully we will see each other on the next trip!
