Description
Next, venture underground to explore the Carvão Cave (Gruta do Carvão), one of the island’s remarkable volcanic lava tubes. This fascinating natural formation reveals the raw power of volcanic activity and offers visitors a unique opportunity to walk through illuminated tunnels and chambers formed thousands of years ago. Guided tours provide insight into the geology, history, and legends surrounding the cave.
Finally, visit the José do Canto Botanical Garden, one of the largest and most impressive botanical gardens in the Azores. Nestled in a lush valley, this garden showcases an extensive variety of rare and exotic plant species collected from around the world. Stroll through themed areas featuring towering trees, vibrant flowers, and serene water features, all carefully cultivated to highlight the beauty and diversity of plant life.
Together, these three sites offer a perfect blend of natural beauty, scientific interest, and cultural history—ideal for travelers seeking to connect with the vibrant ecological and geological story of São Miguel

A wonderful experience
Booked at the last minute and it was a great call. We had enough time at Ponta Delgada to take photos without rushing. No long waits at any point. Easily one of the best things we did.

Não poderia ter sido melhor. Tiramos muitas fotos, o roteiro passa pelos lugares certos. Se estiverem em Ponta Delgada, não percam.

Cumple con lo que ofrece. Conocer un poco de Ponta Delgada en el camino fue un plus. El precio de las bebidas en el lugar es exagerado.

Positivo no geral
Gostamos bastante, com alguns detalhes pequenos. Comparando com fazer por conta própria, compensa. Adoramos a região de Ponta Delgada. É uma forma bem prática de se localizar na cidade no primeiro dia. Faltou um mapa impresso, tudo dependia do celular. Recomendo mesmo assim.

I would do it again, though I would change a couple of things. The ticket arrived by email instantly and the QR scanned first time. Give Ponta Delgada plenty of time, it is worth it. You could tell it was properly organised. I would have liked a little longer at the last stop.

Excelente
Terminamos o dia comentando como tinha sido bom. O preço é honesto pelo que se recebe. Ficamos caminhando por Ponta Delgada depois do jantar. Recomendo sem pensar.
