What to expect

This amazing adventure in a 4x4 open roof vehicle will give you the sensation of touching the clouds, the nature, plants, and fruits. In an open-top 4x4 you can stand up to take photos and admire unique and privileged looks at the stunning nature. Off-road experience up and down the mountain avoiding the tourist crowd, with an expert and knowledgeable guide. This tour concludes where the green of the mountains merges with the blue of the crystalline waters of the Atlantic Ocean, taking you through the historical ancient roads and forest areas, a symbiosis between culture, history, nature, and gastronomy.

Starting in Serra D’Água, the abrupt valley dividing the massif from the only plateau this island has, this tour takes you to the lush northwest, where waterfalls melt into the ocean and lava has been shaped into cerulean pools. Feel the adrenalin-adventure of exploring primitive back-roads surrounded by native forest. Walk alongside the famous man-made channels called Levadas while witnessing stunning views of the landscape. This will be an incredible adventure filled with unforgettable memories.
