The Portuguese are well known for their great explorers, discovering far away lands across the globe. This island was one of the first of those discoveries. Found intact, with no inhabitants almost 600 years ago. Discover for yourself this awesome island from different points of views, be it seaside, mountain side, inner tropical forest with its breathtaking waterfalls, thermal pools and lakes and craters and so much more. The trails themselves are as impressive as the views, you will find stone paths carved into the mountain side or wooden suspension bridges over natural springs or beautiful sandy beaches just waiting to be crossed.
Take this path along the mountain side all the way down to the ocean where you can cool off and take a quick dip. Take the time to examine these unique cliff side vineyards and orchards for the production of local wines.
This path is named after the spectacular waterfall Salto do Cabrito you fill find as you follow the trail deep into the lush tropical forest. It starts at the Caldeiras (hot springs) da Ribeira Grande which is also a local sight to see.
Discover the north coast of the island and it’s amazing ocean views. The path will take you to several lookouts overlooking the villages of Mosteiros and Bretanha. This is the perfect trail to admire the endemic flora from laurel bushes to azorean heather.
Salto do Prego is one of São Miguel’s’ most famous trails with its most beautiful waterfall. You will even encounter an abandoned village on the way. Bring a bathing suit for an unbelievable dip in the basin under the falls.
