About this experience
This day will be full of beauty. On San Miguel, there is no need to look for it, it is everywhere. We will explore the most picturesque parts of the island, stop at numerous viewpoints, and never tire of admiring. From the volcanic lake Lagoa do Canario to the hot thermal baths of Caldeira Velha is a long way. But all of it is beauty, and all of it is ours.
