Overview

The West of the island is one of the most, if not the most, impressive parts. 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 driving you.

You will see Sete Cidades Blue and Green lakes, from up and down the mountain, and also the best views for Santiago and Canário lakes, as well as the epic Grota do Inferno viewpoint.

We will follow to the darkest sand beach in the island, and dazzling natural pools, in Mosteiros. If its Summer time you can have a refreshing swim on the clear waters or save it for the open sea hot springs, heated by the breath of the volcano during low tide, at Ferraria.
