Lagoa do Fogo is a crater lake at about 580 m in the centre of São Miguel, in a nature reserve, with a view point on the road above it. It lies roughly 35 km from the airport, on a mountain road above Ribeira Grande or Água de Pau. The summit is often covered in cloud, and the viewpoint can be empty of view at any time of year. Access by car stops at the viewpoint and parking area; walkers can reach the shore by a path.
The lake at Lagoa do Fogo lies inside the Fogo volcano crater, with steep green slopes around the water and a short path from the miradouro viewpoint down to the shore. The Miradouro da Barrosa is the best-known viewing point. On clear days the lake looks turquoise and the view stretches across the island to the north coast. The weather changes quickly, so visitors should bring a jacket, and the viewpoint can be crowded at midday in summer.
Public transport: No confirmed public transport from the airport to Lagoa do Fogo.
