Visit the quaint community of Sete Cidades, check out the tumbling cascades of a geothermal-heated waterfall, and snap photos of Lagoa do Fogo’s sparkling shores. Catch a ride from your Ponta Delgada hotel in a 4×4 jeep, chatting with your guide as you head to the village of Sete Cidades. As you enter the 3-mile-wide (5-km) caldera that’s home to this charming hamlet, learn about the island’s volcanic past. Visit the local parish at its vibrant center and then make your way to a nearby waterfall whose rushing waters are heated by underground hot springs in Lagoa do Fogo. On your way to Lagoa do Fogo, grab lunch at a locally loved restaurant. The restaurant has in general typical Azorean (similar to Mediterranean cuisine) food and several options between fish and meat, stew, grilled. Spend the rest of the afternoon scoping out the sights around this crater lake and then head back to your hotel, gathering tips on other places to go before you part ways with your guide.
