What our customers say about us
Driving in São Jorge: Master the Roads to the Fajãs
São Jorge features some of the most spectacular, high-elevation driving routes in the archipelago, running along a central volcanic spine. However, reaching the island’s signature flat coastal plains (fajãs)—such as Fajã dos Cubres or Fajã de São João—requires driving down steep, narrow switchbacks cut into the cliffs.
- Our Fleet Recommendation: Because of the sustained steep grades and sharp turns, we highly recommend renting a car with a robust engine (diesel or higher-displacement petrol) or an automatic transmission to eliminate the stress of hill-starts on tight mountain curves.
