Quatro Fábricas da Luz Park is a fascinating historical trail on São Miguel Island that takes you on a journey through the island's industrial past, showcasing the production of electric energy in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The trail starts at Parque Escutista dos Lagos and leads you past old factories, water reservoirs, and waterfalls, offering insight into the innovative work of engineer José Cordeiro. Explore the ruins of the factories, follow the stream, and don't miss the opportunity to visit the Núcleo Museológico da Electricidade – Fábrica da Praia museum. It's a unique and educational adventure that combines history, nature, and exploration all in one!
