Guidekin's take

A small group day that follows the rivers of São Miguel to six waterfalls, watermills and hidden valleys away from the usual route, with short walks and a picnic lunch included.

Moderate fitness is needed and bottled water is not provided. 4.9 from 39 reviews at €85 per person for 8h.
