About this activity
With the target on the island central massif we will visit the volcanic cones adjacent to the main "Volcano of Fire" where are nested lakes surrounded by wild lush vegetation. Due to its 'hidden' location and access, these places still remains unknown even for the local people and intact without any human intervention. For the Lagoa do Congro Walking trail will be necessary 30 min. walk in steep terrain through a rain forest but without any doubt, well worth the effort that is often crowned with the observation of endemic birds. We recommend the use of walking boots and stick. This is a unique tour offer and unmissable for wild nature lovers.
After  Lunch at a restaurant with typical food you will visit Gorreana the only tea plantation in Europe, where the clay soil and acid offers a very pleasant aftertaste to this very popular plant. You will also see Ribeira Grande the second city of the island with it´s beautiful architecture and narrow streets. Before returning to Ponta Delgada you will pass through Rabo de Peixe, the biggest parish of azorean fisherman's.
