Portugal Lagoa do Fogo, Sao Miguel, Azores

  • Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot
View down to the nature reserve Lagoa do Fogo on Sao Miguel, which is the main island of the Azorean Islands. There are several spots to photograph Lagoa do Fogo, and there are some trails to descend to the level of the lake. However, the most convenient are the viewpoints along the road.

Photography Tips

The lagoon is often hidden by fog, so you should monitor the weather using the available apps. You might need to try several times to get reasonably good light.

Travel Information

Since 2023 you can only get there by shuttle bus between 9 am and 7 pm from June 15 until September 30. Tickets can be purchased online (www.lagoadofogo.pt) and they are free for local residents and cost 5 Euros for everybody else over the age of 6. Make sure to check the current regulations before going to this spot. Before and after that, you can go there in your own car. There is a parking lot just near the street for a few cars that you can use to hold here.

If you have enough time, you can even walk down to the lake from this point. It's around 20-30 minutes to get down there, but it's definitely worth it because you don't hear anything else than nature. Sturdy shoes are recommended though for this little hike.
