Itinerary
Lagoa do Fogo is a stunning crater lake nestled within the Água de Pau Massif stratovolcano, located in the heart of São Miguel Island. As the highest lake on the island, its pristine beauty is preserved under strict government protection, prohibiting any construction around its shores to maintain the natural landscape.
Optional Add-On: Discover Caldeira Velha’s Natural Hot Springs Enhance your tour with a visit to Caldeira Velha, a remarkable fumarolic field on the slopes of Fogo Volcano. This unique area of secondary volcanism features natural hot springs, steaming grounds, and a thermal waterfall. Wander through a narrow valley surrounded by rocky cliffs and lush, tropical vegetation, creating an unforgettable, serene landscape. Relax in warm thermal pools amidst vibrant greenery and take in the natural beauty of this volcanic wonder.
Salto do Cabrito is a stunning waterfall that cascades down rocky cliffs into clear, refreshing pools. Accessible by scenic trails, this hidden gem offers a peaceful retreat and a chance to experience the untouched beauty of São Miguel’s landscapes. Perfect for nature lovers and adventurers alike!
Built in 1943 by the São Miguel Whaling Frames Union, this structure once served as a vital lookout for whaling companies in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. From this historic vantage point, enjoy panoramic views of the rugged and unique northern coast of São Miguel Island.
