Who We Are
For over two decades creating unforgettable memories through the streets of Ponta Delgada.
Experience
Since 2001, Lagarta – Tourist Animation has been taking thousands of visitors on unique, fun, and unforgettable journeys through Ponta Delgada. What started as a single tourist train quickly grew from our love for the city and its rich history, inspiring us to expand and reinvent the tourist experience.
Today, with our iconic tourist trains, we invite every visitor to embark on a journey full of color, life, and fascinating stories, exploring everything from historic landmarks to the most breathtaking natural landscapes.
Our mission goes beyond showing the city: we want to share our love for Ponta Delgada, transform each tour into a vivid, engaging, and inclusive adventure, and create memories that stay in the hearts of our visitors forever.
Our Trains
Mobility with History and Innovation
Dotto P90
The Power of Tradition
Our Dotto P90 diesel locomotive has been the heart of our tours for many years. Robust, reliable, and full of character, it travels through the streets of Ponta Delgada with charm and elegance, guiding visitors to discover the city's most iconic landmarks.
Dotto Ivo 22
The Energy of the Future
Soon, we take another step towards sustainable mobility with the arrival of our fully electric Dotto Ivo 22 locomotive. Silent, eco-friendly, and modern, it embodies Lagarta's commitment to greener, more innovative, and responsible tourism, in harmony with the environment and the spirit of the Azores.
"With our trains, every ride is more than just a tour — it's an experience that blends comfort, technology, and a true passion for the city."
