The programme

Jump into the mega truck and start your adventure as you drive along dirt roads through the breathtaking landscapes of São Miguel to Lagoa do Fogo, where nature is truly spectacular.
It's got to be seen to be believed: climb down from the truck and let yourself be amazed by the large green lake inside the volcanic caldera, surrounded by vegetation.
After taking endless photos, you'll head to Ribeira Grande, where you'll learn interesting facts about the town and traditions of the island, as you wander its streets with your guide. Did you know that tea growing here is really important?
You'll discover all the details at the Gorreana Tea Factory, the oldest European tea factory still operating. The various steps that go into processing this traditional product will no longer be a secret to you, and the same is true of the flavors of four different varieties. What are you waiting for? Happy tasting!
