An experience for those who want to connect with the island’s deepest roots. We begin with a guided visit to the Fortress of São José da Ponta Grossa, an 18th-century monument overlooking Praia do Forte.
Next we head to the picturesque center of Santo Antônio de Lisboa, walking its stone streets past colonial mansions and celebrating its Azorean heritage and local crafts.
To finish, we go to the charming, peaceful village of Sambaqui, known for its oyster farms. There you’ll have free time to enjoy local seafood by the water and watch an unforgettable sunset.
What to bring: sturdy shoes, insect repellent and a light jacket for the sunset.
