From the guide

Follow São Miguel's rivers and waterfalls on a small-group nature tour through some of the island's most beautiful and unspoiled landscapes. Venture beyond the usual sightseeing routes and discover six unique waterfalls, lush forests, hidden valleys, and historic watermills that reveal the island's deep connection to water.

Designed for nature lovers and active travelers, this experience combines short walks, breathtaking scenery, and a deeper exploration of São Miguel's wild side. Along the way, enjoy a picnic lunch surrounded by nature and, when conditions allow, opportunities to experience the island's refreshing natural waters.

Travel in the comfort of a modern 100% electric van and enjoy the personal attention of a local guide in a group limited to just 8 guests. With more walking, more immersion, and more time in nature, this tour offers a completely different perspective on the Azores.
