Operated by 4x4 Azores · Sete Cidades, Azores
The engine’s vibration rises beneath you as the trail opens toward the rim of Sete Cidades — a raw, volcanic bowl whose lagoons tug at the light like magnets. Start at Pico da Pedra, wheel in hand, and the route quickly shifts from paved lanes to rutted coastal dirt, the Atlantic wind pushing you along cliffs and pasture. At 845 meters, Pico da Cruz gives a wide, uncompromising look across Lagoa Verde and Lagoa Azul, the crater’s two eyes separated by slopes and story.

4 hours.
Moderate—comfortable walking, core stability, and the ability to mount/dismount an ATV several times.

Shared tours are limited to six riders, which keeps the group manageable on narrow trails and viewpoints.
Yes, helmets, fuel, gloves and insurance are included with the tour price as part of standard inclusions.
Tours may be canceled or rescheduled in heavy rain or high winds when trails become unsafe; full refunds are available if canceled 24 hours before departure.
