Spend four hours exploring Lagoa do Fogo with a small-group biologist or naturalist guide.

Guides including Miguel, Flora, Freda, Alex, and Sondra bring local knowledge to the drive.

“This is a great tour - we didnt get to see the lake due to weather and our guide figured out a few other great spots on the fly. The hot springs are beautiful as well. And our guide was a biologist which really shows the level of care this tour group provides for the animals around them - would definitely love to go whale watching with them when I come back.”
