Lagoa do Fogo
@anarodrigues
Plan your visit on a clear day to fully appreciate the sweeping vistas. However the constant mist also give a certain mystery and eerie atmosphere to the lagoon. Afterward, unwind at Caldeira Velha's hot springs, just a short drive away.

Furnas Lake
@anarodrigues
Arrive early to see the locals cooking 'Cozido das Furnas' in geothermal pits. While in Furnas, explore Terra Nostra Park and savour a dip in their warm mineral pool or go the cheaper and equally beautiful option of Poça da dona beija.

One of the most serene places on the island ! Ideal for sunrise or early morning meditation. Combine this with a coastal hike along the cliffs for a full morning of exploration or use it a stop while doing a road trip around Sao Miguel.
