Canyoning is special in the Azores. Due to its volcanic particularities, the island of São Miguel is perfect for practicing this type of mountain. You can expect a unique and exciting contact with the nature of the place.
The interior of Ilha Verde is a true aquatic amusement park with waterfalls and streams ready to be explored in a fun and responsible way. In the various moments of adrenaline provided by this activity, you have the opportunity to walk in the water, jump into pools of clear and very fresh water and slide between rocks.

Adventures on São Miguel Island continue through walking tours. This is an activity that allows you to discover the most beautiful landscapes created by Mother Nature.
There are several trails you can choose from to explore the best of nature on the Green Island. You can expect unique landscapes shaped by volcanoes. These trails are the paths that, in the past, shortened distances. Currently, they are paths that traverse the history of the people of São Miguel and the Azorean natural heritage.
This is an activity for the whole family! When walking through the beautiful Azorean landscapes, take the opportunity to just breathe fresh air and contemplate the diverse environment of vegetation, fauna and flora and wild life.
Here are the trails we have for you on the largest island of the Azores Archipelagos: Lagoa do Fogo, Sanguinho, Pico da Vara, Ribeira Funda (Praia da Viola) and Sete Cidades (Serra Devassa).

2 - Walking Tours
You can also combine multiple adventures. We have special packages of combined activities that take place in the enchanted valley of Furnas. Our proposal is that you get to know first hand, explore and discover the volcanic phenomena present in this mystical parish of São Miguel Island.
Through the mountain bike, travel the dirt roads around lakes, hills and valleys. In the middle of a volcanic caldera, canoeing activity takes place. This experience as a family, as a couple or among friends, is a fun way to feel alone and just the nature around you. Since it is autumn and Furnas is home to fumaroles, take the opportunity to relax in the thermal spas of Parque Terra Nostra. An authentic spa in the middle of nature. This Park has a large thermal pool and two outdoor jacuzzis. The water temperature varies between 35ºC and 40ºC. You should also not miss the tour of the botanical garden.
