With our taxi transfer option, the walks are mostly linear – a driver will drop you off at the start of each walk and pick you up later that day. Your walks vary from 6km to 12km (2 to 5 hours) visiting an abandoned village and up to a stunning waterfall, along a pretty south coast path and a spectacular walk down from the Fire Lake, the Azores’ wildest crater lake.
