Joao Bom

In the northwest of the island of Sao Miguel is the small village of Joao Bom. An ideal place to leave the car and start a trek to the coastal areas or to a vibrant interior. From Joao Bom there are some hiking trails that are worth considering. Heading west we can get to the town of Mosteiros with its stunning volcanic islets. On the contrary, if we go east, we reach the Laguna de Sete Cidades a route that takes us up to contemplate the beautiful scenery of the numerous volcanoes in the area. Here you can find a map right next to the road with signs which show the routes and the difficulty of them.
