Tu conduis le buggy toi-même, sur route et hors route, autour d'une caldeira qui s'étend sur cinq kilomètres et qui fait 400 mètres de profondeur. Sete Cidades abrite quatre lagunes : Santiago, Rasa, Azul et Verde, qui sont reliées entre elles et qui sont les sujets de plus de photos que tout autre endroit aux Açores. Elles sont l'une des sept merveilles naturelles du Portugal dans la catégorie des eaux non marines. La légende raconte que les couleurs proviennent d'une princesse aux yeux bleus et d'un berger aux yeux verts. La véritable raison est géométrique : la Lagoa Verde se trouve dans un bassin plus étroit et prend sa couleur de la végétation environnante, tandis que la Lagoa Azul est suffisamment large pour refléter le ciel. L'itinéraire s'arrête à 845 mètres, le point culminant du volcan, où l'ensemble des quatre lagunes est visible, et au point de vue de Cumeeiras, qui offre une vue sur le cratère depuis le côté opposé à Vista do Rei, et, en se retournant, sur la côte nord et ses pâturages. Sur le chemin, tu passeras devant la "Wall of the Nine Windows", un aqueduc construit entre le XVIIe et le XVIIIe siècle pour acheminer l'eau du lac Canário vers Ponta Delgada, qui n'en avait pas. Il a été restauré par la municipalité après des années de dégradation. La journée commence par un briefing sur la conduite et la sécurité.

  1. Largo de S. José 4, Ribeira Grande

    Past the church at Pico da Pedra, go west along the main street. After Parque da Mercês, turn left at the four-way junction, then right after 50 metres. There is a green house facing a children's playground, and the quads are outside it with the company logo on them.

  2. Pico da Pedra

    The briefing: how the machine is driven, the safety rules, and getting everyone ready.

  3. Close to the Devassa Mountain is the Wall of the Nine…

    Near Devassa Mountain stands the Wall of the Nine Windows, an aqueduct built between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Santo António had water and Ponta Delgada did not, so the water captured around the Canário lake was carried over these arches, the nine windows the wall is named for. It had been decaying until the municipal services of Ponta Delgada brought it back.

  4. 845 meters altitude View to Lagoa de Santiago

    845 metres up, with Lagoa de Santiago, Lagoa Rasa, Lagoa Verde and Lagoa Azul all in view.

  5. Miradouro Das Cumeeiras

    The Cumeeiras viewpoint looks at the Sete Cidades crater from the side opposite Vista do Rei. Turn around and the north coast of São Miguel is there instead, green pasture with cattle on it.

  6. Lagoa Verde / Lagoa das Sete Cidades

    The Sete Cidades caldera is about 5 km across and 400 m deep, and the volcano's highest point is 845 m. Its rims, the large and small Cumeeiras, carry a walking trail around the summits of one of the largest calderas in the Azores. Four lagoons lie inside it, Santiago, Rasa, Azul and Verde, connected to one another, and the last two are the image the Azores is sold on and one of the seven natural wonders of Portugal among non-marine waters. The legend of the colours is a blue-eyed princess and a green-eyed shepherd. The physical reason is that Lagoa Verde sits in steeper, closer slopes and takes the reflection of the vegetation, while Lagoa Azul is larger and takes the sky.

  7. Pico da Pedra

    End of the tour.

  8. Largo de S. José 4, Ribeira Grande
