Worth the hike - you start at the viewpoint, and follow down the stairs. You walk all the time by the lake coastline, narrow path. I suggest you take shoes for mountain hikes, don't wear sandals please. The hike takes less than 45 minutes in one direction, and I suggest you end the hike at the first big beach, right around the corner is the second beach much longer than the first one, but it doesn't look that nice. At the beach you can make a stop, before continuig back on the same path to the view point.
Nature here is amazing, really worth the effort.

Lagoa do Fogo is one of the highlights on São Miguel. The diverse vegetation around the lake is truly exceptional and beautiful. It's an absolute must-see for everyone.

However, it's important to know that between 9:00 AM and 7:00 PM, you can only go up by bus, for which you need to buy a ticket (available in cash or online).

If you wanna go to the see, you can hiking down the path. You should have good shoes. It is not allowed 🚫 to go swimming!!! We see a lot of people that they go swimming. There are so many shields at the beach that says: swimming is not allowed. Your damage the water there because your sun blocker 🧴 is going into the water. The most of them are not good for the water. In the see and around there are many birds and fish. It is a quiet place.

After a steep descent along a challenging path, the commitment will reward you with a pleasant walk around the lake. There are large bird nests and swimming is prohibited.

Gorgeous place! You can climb down to the little beach that goes all around the lake or you can wal trough the walking trail along the hills around it. Beautiful place, but be careful it's not to swim in!
One of the best point of interest of the island
