The dirt trail tracing the rim of the Sete Cidades crater is an iconic feature of this breathtaking Azorean landscape. Winding along the edge of this massive volcanic caldera, the path offers some of the most spectacular and sought-after views in the Azores. This unpaved trail varies in width and condition, offering a more natural and rugged hiking experience compared to paved roads. As you follow it, the panorama unfolds continuously. On one side, the vast expanse of the crater floor stretches out, often shrouded in mist or patchwork with green pastures. On the other, the dramatic drop reveals the two legendary lakes – the vibrant green Lagoa Verde and the deep blue Lagoa Azul – potentially joined by a thin strip of land or water, depending on the season and viewpoint.
Sete Cidades, acclaimed as one of Portugal's 7 Natural Wonders, is a breathtaking volcanic caldera on São Miguel in the Azores. It's famed for its stunning twin lakes: the vibrant green Lagoa Verde and the deep blue Lagoa Azul. This legendary landscape, born from volcanic forces, captivates visitors with its sheer beauty and the poignant story of the lost shepherd's love that inspired its colours. A truly awe-inspiring natural masterpiece.
The Muro das Nove Janelas, or Wall of Nine Windows, is a unique and intriguing feature located near the stunning Sete Cidades crater on São Miguel Island in the Azores. This wall, constructed from local stone, is punctuated by nine distinct openings or "janelas," which are not typical windows but rather arches or embrasures.
