Amazing views of Lagoa do Fogo. A steep descent with up to 900 steps takes you directly to the lake. The hike takes about 30 minutes and leads through stunning scenery.

The climb is strenuous, but the walk is worth it.

The descent down to the lake in the crater is an absolute dream. The unique flora in the crater leaves us in awe. However, what we descend, we have to climb back up again on the way back. A short, but worthwhile tour!

Magnificent views of the lake and the surrounding landscape. The path to the lake is steep and at times very slippery, with ladders in places – be careful with children or those with less than perfect footing.
