All of the West & Sete Cidades Volcano
All of the West & Sete Cidades Volcano
The West of the island is one of the most impressive ones. You really don't want to miss all the sites around here or rush through them. The West is worth a full day of exploring on its own.
The best spots for views of the caldera and lakes are off the main road, and finding them is not easy. This experience includes them all, and you are only able to do this in a half day with the help of a local. We will see Sete Cidades lakes, from down/up the mountain, and also the best views for Santiago, Canário and Empadadas lakes, as well as the epic Grota do Inferno.We will follow to the darkest sand beach in the island, and dazzling natural pools, in Mosteiros.
