This full-day 4x4 tour to Nordeste reveals another side of São Miguel: wilder, older and more secret. From Ponta Delgada, the route follows the north coast through Ribeira Grande and Porto Formoso, then continues towards Nordeste, a region known for powerful landscapes, viewpoints and preserved atmosphere.

The 4x4 format helps reach more remote areas such as Pico Bartolomeu and the Tronqueira mountain track, with views towards Pico da Vara, the island’s highest peak. The experience alternates roads, villages, reliefs and lush nature, continuing towards Povoação and returning by the south coast.
