The viewpoint at Sete Cidades on São Miguel, the largest island in the Azores, offers a breathtaking panorama of the famous two-coloured lagoons. Located on a hilltop, this spot is a true paradise for nature lovers and hikers. From here, picturesque views unfold of the green and blue lakes, harmoniously juxtaposed in the volcanic crater. The contrast between the hues is mesmerising and seems almost surreal.
On a hike to the viewpoint, you feel the fresh breeze of the Atlantic Ocean as the winding paths take you past lush vegetation and flowers. On arrival at the summit, you are greeted by a vast landscape in which the lagoon stretches majestically against the backdrop of rolling hills and dense forests. Clouds often hang low above the crater, adding a mystical touch to the scene.
The viewpoint is a perfect place to experience nature's grandeur. Here you can not only enjoy the breathtaking views, but also take in the peace and serenity of this volcanic masterpiece. Sete Cidades is a destination that will awaken your senses and fill your soul with admiration for the power and beauty of nature.
