Jeep Tour of Sete Cidades & Lagoa do Fogo by Futurismo Azores

Situated on São Miguel Island, the largest in Portugal’s Azores archipelago, Futurismo Azores Adventures delivers a rugged, full-day jeep tour through two of the island’s most striking volcanic calderas: Lagoa das Sete Cidades and Lagoa do Fogo. This is an expedition where raw landscape, geology, and vibrant water merge to create one of the Atlantic’s most compelling natural playgrounds.

Starting from Ponta Delgada, the island’s main hub, the tour navigates lava-formed terrain and dense hydrangea-lined roads toward Sete Cidades. Here, twin crater lakes—the deep blue and vivid green lagoons—rest inside an ancient volcano’s collapsed caldera. The imposing cliffs and sheltered viewpoints let you grasp the scale of this geologic monument, while the ability to touch the water connects travelers directly to the landscape's energy.

From Sete Cidades, the route transitions eastward to Lagoa do Fogo, a pristine high-altitude caldera lake known for its crystal-clear waters and fragile ecosystem. Trekking options and water sport rentals, including kayaking and paddleboarding, provide hands-on interaction with the lake’s serene surface, surrounded by endemic laurel forests and volcanic peaks. The itinerary flexes to the island’s microclimates, ensuring travelers get optimal weather and access to the most remarkable spots.

Futurismo Azores Adventures stands apart by combining local knowledge, nimble vehicle access, and multi-activity options that invite close encounters with São Miguel’s volcanic essence. These tours are a rare balance of adrenaline, discovery, and nature appreciation in an environment where volcano meets Atlantic. For those seeking authentic adventure thrills grounded in place, this jeep tour ranks as a premier Azorean journey.
