Off-Road to the Sete Cidades Caldera, One Quad Between Two

Half a day off-road around the crater at Sete Cidades, with one quad shared between two people. The route climbs to the Pico do Carvão viewpoint, then works round to the Vista do Rei and the caldera itself, with the two lakes below. The green one and the blue one are why this valley is photographed as often as it is. Four things to settle before anyone rides, none of them optional. Anyone driving must show a driving licence valid in Portugal. Every driver signs a liability statement before the tour starts. A security deposit of 500 euros per vehicle is held on a credit card and released within 72 hours. And the cover on the vehicles is third-party only, so damage to the quad is the client's responsibility. The briefing is at the ANC buggy and quad tours office at Valados, which is also where the tour ends.
