In the crater of a dormant volcano that formed around 15,000 years ago, Lagoa do Fogo offers high natural beauty with breathtaking landscapes. The Serra da Água de Pau Volcanic Massif arose from the central part of the island of São Miguel, where Lagoa do Fogo is nestled. It is a place of great scenic value and pure and untouched nature.

Located between Ribeira Grande and the city of Lagoa, this volcanic lagoon looks like a postcard from paradise. The green of the volcanic walls, full of lush vegetation, contrasts with the clear blue of the water, making it, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful places in the Azores. This is one of the main tourist attractions in São Miguel, but it still has some secrets inside that this post will reveal. Follow this complete guide to find out everything you need to know about Lagoa do Fogo.
