Lagoa do Caiado is the highest located on Pico Island, with more than 800m above sea level. In addition to being a site of exuberant beauty, with views of Pico Mountain, it is also a place of high biological interest. It is one of the few lakes in the Azores where no invasive species have been introduced.
