What to expect

  1. Miradouro do Pico do Carvao
    10m · Admission ticket included
    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.
  2. Vista do Rei Miradouro
    20m · Admission ticket included
    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.
  3. Miradouro Da Lagoa De Santiago
    10m · Admission ticket included
    From the Miradouro da Lagoa de Santiago viewpoint (Sete Cidades, São Miguel), you get a stunning view of:
