Explore nature above and below on São Miguel Island. Visit two of Ponta Delgada’s main botanical gardens, António Borges and José do Canto, where you’ll find impressive centennial trees, peaceful walking paths, and tranquil lakes that invite you to slow down and enjoy nature at its finest. Admire a rich diversity of exotic and endemic plant species in beautifully maintained settings. Observe fantastic botanical collections, from palm trees to tree ferns, dragon trees, and Australian banyans. Next, descend into a fascinating lava tunnel that reveals the island’s volcanic origins. Explore Gruta do Carvão, the only volcanic cave on São Miguel open to the public.

Please note: The visit to Gruta do Carvão is subject to availability.
