Go for it! You won't be sorry :) - Today I walked the Misterios Negros trail. Next to the fact Azores Nature Tours were able and flexible to squeeze me in last minute, even picked me up from my hotel at Praia for just a little extra, it was amázing! So incredible beautiful and the guide (Girl with The Blue Hair) seemed to feel effortlessly how to guide me and my fellow participant. She gave us trust, both in our own ways, to conquer the trail :) I felt no rush what so ever, we were able to determine the rhythm. If one of us wanted to take a picture, súre, stop for a drink, fíne:) I had the best time with a beautiful radiant uplifting guide :)

Misterios Negros hike with James - James was an entertaining and informative guide. He is clearly very knowledgable and passionate about his profession, the nature, history and life on the island. He also provided numerous recommendations for other sights, activities and places to eat; even calling in a reservation for us at the very popular Beira Mar fish restaurant on the Sao Mateus marina (highly recommended!) The trail itself is one of the best I've ever hiked; difficult in some parts but overall moderate difficulty; an absolute must do while in Teceira and highly recommended to do it with Azores nature tours.

Mistérios Negros - James is a fantastic walk leader. He keeps up the pace while making sure you feel confident and safe in the more difficult parts of the trail. His local knowledge and expertise in the flora and fauna means you really understand this exquisite unique and wonderful environment of the mistérios negros

well spent afternoon - Spent a very nice afternoon, getting to know various places, all of them unique. Our tour guide, Amelia, did a very nice job and was always ready to reply to a question or take a photo of us. Never felt rushed and left at the end better than I had started it.
