All about the trip
Take a better look at the best Sete Cidades has to offer! Cycle along the banks of Lagoa Azul and Lagoa Verde (“Blue Lagoon and Green Lagoon“), visit the viewpoints of Lagoa do Santiago (“Lagoon of Santiago“), Lagoa Rasa (“Shallow Lagoon“) and Vista do Rei (“Kings’ View Viewpoint“) and take a thrilling bike ride around Cumeeira Pequena (“Small Summit Rim“).
At the starting point, we will spend around 15 minutes to give you a quick safety briefing, a demonstration on how to use your E-Bike and all its functions, show you how to use your GPS tracker and map, and hand out your equipment. Once you are set up, you’re ready to go and have fun!
Setting off, you will head over the bridge dividing Lagoa Azul (“Blue Lagoon”) and Lagoa Verde (“Green Lagoon”) enjoying the lakeside view towards the Peninsula and the peaceful picnic area of Baia do Silencio (“Silence Bay“). Heading back to the bridge along easy dirt tracks, up next you will encounter a long and steep ascent on the main road, along which you can stop at the viewpoints of Lagoa de Santiago (“Santiago Lagoon“) and Cerrado das Freiras (“Nuns Haven”). Continuing onwards and upwards till finally reaching Vista do Rei (“Kings’ View Viewpoint“) for a magnificent view of the lagoons below and the abandoned Hotel Monte Palace behind you. Prepare yourself as a more adventurous trail lies ahead, taking you along Cumeeira Pequena (“Small Summit Rim“) on a graveled road. Passing the Lomba do Vasco Viewpoint, you will finish the tour going down through the heart of the village of Sete Cidades, passing by the Parish Church of Sao Nicolau and its gardens, leading you back to Lagoa Azul.
