Explore the volcanic complex of Sete Cidades by bike on this adventure tour along lakes, coastline and volcanic craters.
HIGHLIGHTS:
* Cycle along the rim of the crater
* Have lunch by the shore of Blue Lake
* Bathe in the thermally heated ocean bathing area at Ferraria
Saddle up and head west of São Miguel to head deep into the heart of Sete Cidades. We cycle 25km on a route that lets us learn and see more of Azores’ flora, fauna, history and volcanic formations.
Pedalling across the rim of the crater, superb views over the sparkling lakes and coastline unfold before your eyes. Learn about the legendary love story behind the lake’s beginnings and enjoy lunch at the shore of Blue Lake in Sete Cidades. The surroundings will leave you awe-struck: the lush brushstrokes of vegetation contrasting with the bright blue lakes are scenes from a painting. At the end of our biking adventure we stop in Ferraria, where there is a magnificent ocean bathing area, where salt water is heated from inside a volcanic fissure. A truly deserved end to an energetic tour!
