What To Expect

Serra da Tronqueira

The Tronqueira mountain range is located on the eastern side, and contains dirt roads that cross the center-east from Nordeste to the municipality of Povoação (near the entrance to Faial da Terra). The viewpoint of Tronqueira offers an imposing view over Pico da Vara, the highest peak on the island with 1103 meters, and also over Pico Verde with 931 meters.

This viewpoint is in the heart of the Azorean Bullfinch habitat, and around it, we can find the most important patch of Laurel Forest on the island. At certain times of the year, this endemic bird can even be seen there.

I booked 3 tours with this company. 1 full day furnas. 1 full day 4X4 Sete Cidas. Lastly, 1 full day 4X4 Nordeste. Would definitely recommend. Easy to communicate with. Guides are awesome :) guides are flexible, accommodating and very knowledgeable as well as passionate about the island.

Brilliant Experience in Nordeste

My wife and I greatly enjoyed our time exploring the north-east of Sao Miguel with Felipe and another lovely couple. Started off from Vila Franca do Campo, went to some amazing viewpoints and traveled through some spectacular natural sites. Felipe our guide was knowledgeable about all the sites and flora and fauna of the island and it was very interesting hearing and asking for further details. No question was too much.

We enjoyed our time immensely and would recommend this activity to anyone visiting Sao Miguel.

Amazing day in the Azores!
