From the Pico do Carvão viewpoint, you get a panoramic view of the central part of São Miguel Island: • Both the north and south coasts — you can see both shorelines at once; • Green hills and volcanic ridges, covered with cryptomeria and eucalyptus forests; • Pastures and farmland, divided by traditional stone walls — a typical Azorean landscape; • Wind turbines lining the hilltops; • On clear days, you can see eastern parts of the island, including distant mountains and high plateaus. It’s a great spot to appreciate the scale and natural variety of the island.
From the Miradouro da Boca do Inferno viewpoint (at an altitude of about 700 meters), you get one of the most stunning views of São Miguel: • Three lakes: Lagoa Azul (the blue part of Sete Cidades), Lagoa de Santiago, and Lagoa Rasa; • The ocean in the distance, beyond the crater’s edge; • The village of Sete Cidades, nestled at the base; • Majestic volcanic landscapes with contrasting colors and relief. This iconic spot is perfect for panoramic photos and taking in the island’s natural beauty.
From the Vista do Rei viewpoint (Sete Cidades, São Miguel Island), you can see one of the most iconic landscapes of the Azores: • Sete Cidades Lake, with its two distinct parts — Lagoa Azul (Blue Lake) and Lagoa Verde (Green Lake), separated by a bridge; • The caldera of an extinct volcano, surrounded by steep slopes; • The village of Sete Cidades, nestled along the lake’s edge; • On clear days, the ocean visible on the horizon.
