What you can expect
Embark on a captivating journey through São Jorge's diverse landscapes, blending natural beauty with cultural heritage. This tour begins in Velas, leading you to the lush Sete Fontes Forest Reserve with its stunning panoramic views. We'll then savour local flavours at the Beira Cheese Factory (optional guided tour available), before exploring the picturesque villages of Norte Grande, including the breathtaking viewpoints overlooking Fajã do Ouvidor and Fajã da Ribeira de Areia. Prepare to be awestruck by the iconic Fajã dos Cubres and Caldeira de Santo Cristo. A mandatory lunch stop in Calheta is included, allowing for a 30-60 minute break if clients choose to dine, or a 15-30 minute break for the driver if they do not. (Lunch not included). Following lunch, we'll delve into the unique history of Europe’s first complete coffee plantation, where you'll witness the traditional coffee cultivation process and explore local “artesanato” (hand crafts). You'll have the opportunity to purchase unique, locally made items. As we descend towards Velas, we'll pass by the historical Santa Barbara Church, the Urzelina Tower, and glimpses of old windmills, each offering a window into São Jorge's past. Finally, we'll pause at the Manadas viewpoint for a final, magnificent vista. This tour is designed to be flexible, adapting to your group's preferences and pace, and includes descents to two of São Jorge's famous fajãs. Pick-up and drop-off locations are customisable. Join us for an unforgettable exploration of São Jorge's natural beauty and cultural heritage.
