Trip Itinerary
1
Ribeira Grande
Day 1-2
Head north of the main city (Ponta Delgada) to Praia de Santa BΓ‘rbara, one of the few black sandy beaches on the island. We have an option to rent surfboards or have a surf class with friends. The day will end with an amazing dinner in the best restaurant, where we'll eat grilled fresh fish coming directly from the fishermen.
2
Vila Franca do Campo
Day 2-3
Vila Franca do Campo is a city close to Ponta Delgada, very well-known for its typical pastry (my favorite cake in the world). In front of the city, there's a tiny island, called Vila Franca do Campo island. You'll have to take a 5 minutes ferry, and you arrive to this little treasure where you can do snorkeling and enjoy the afternoon!
3
Sete Cidades
Day 3-4
Sete Cidades is a city, meaning The Seven Cities, where the most beautiful lagoons are situated. As you can see in the picture, there are two huge lagoons, one blue and the other one green. They're separated by a bridge and both have different conditions resulting in their different colorations! You have amazing viewpoints and a teashop where you can have the best tea on the island. Then, we'll take a swim in Ponta da Ferraria, the coastal hotspot in the ocean and the day will end with an astonishing sunset at Mosteiros.
4
Furnas
Day 4-5
Here we'll explore one of the most iconic places of the island, Furnas. That's where we have super hot fumaroles coming directly from the ground, a thermal bath in the middle of the nature and a lot of baby cows to pet. Then we'll head to Nordeste to find some waterfalls and hiking trails.
5
Nordeste
Day 5-6
In this last day we'll explore the East part of the island, where we'll do some hikes and visit the most famous waterfall - Salto do Cabrito. We also have nearby Lagoa do Fogo and Lagoa do Congro. As you can see the island has a crazy amount of lagoons and waterfalls everywhere! We can also explore the tea and tobacco plantations
