Self-Guided Sao Miguel Walking Holiday

Our Self-Guided Sao Miguel Walking Holiday is the ideal way to explore the beautiful and varied landscapes of Azores’ largest island.

We’ve been walking Sao Miguel’s extensive trail network for over twenty years, and we can honestly say there’s no better way to experience the magnificent volcanic landscapes of this stunning island than on foot.

From the iconic Mata do Canario trail at Sete Cidades to the secluded Lagoa do Fogo ‘Lake of Fire’ levada trail, via the geysers at Lagoa das Furnas. We specialise in personalised walking holidays to suit all abilities, and we’ll provide you with all the online guides and maps you’ll need to navigate the best of Sao Miguel’s walking trails.

You’ll split your stay between Sao Miguel’s cultural centre Ponta Delgada, capital of the Azores, and the rural peace of the Furnas valley – home to the famous hot springs and the Terra Nostra botanical gardens. We can include return transfers for each walk or you might prefer a hire car for added freedom, and our detailed route maps and guides allow you to explore Sao Miguel at your own pace.
