Review & FAQ:

Arguably one of the largest bodies of water in the whole autonomous region of Azores, the Lagoa do Fogo is remarkably tranquil and a treat to the eyes as well as the soul. The Lagoa do Fogo, which just happens to be one of the country’s astounding crater lakes, is home to stupendous endemic flora.

So beautiful is the lake and its sharp slopes that a natural reserve has been established Lagoa do Fogo to maintain the lake’s atmosphere. The drive to the lake is a treat all on its own, as the winding roads take visitors through lush greenery and hairpin turns.
