This proposal organises 3 full days in São Miguel. It is a flexible editorial plan, not a travel package. Choose the order according to the weather, your accommodation location and confirmed bookings. If flights take up part of your stay, reduce the programme instead of trying to keep all stops.
Start with a walk in Ponta Delgada and along the seafront. If the flight takes up part of the day, keep the programme light and use this period to settle in and confirm transport. Avoid scheduling a rigid-time activity immediately after arrival.
Dedicate the day to the west of the island, with Sete Cidades as the main visit. Choose viewpoints according to visibility and allow time for the locality and the lake shore. Add Mosteiros only if pace and conditions permit, without turning the day into a rushed sequence of stops.
Organise a day in the Furnas valley, choosing between the lake, the locality, gardens and a thermal experience. Confirm entry conditions for the spaces you wish to visit. Allow time for the meal if you wish to try the cozido; do not assume a table will be available on arrival.
Compare bases in the guide where to stay and choose between driving, using public transport or booking excursions in the guide of transport. Each option implies a different pace. For activities with a meeting point and cancellation conditions, consult what to do in São Miguel.
Before a trail, check its condition and the fact sheet in the official Azores Trails portal. Do not use a suggested itinerary as confirmation of access, opening or sea conditions.
