Glittering crater lakes on the beautiful green island of Sao Miguel, one lake shimmers greenish and the other lake has a strong bluish tint when the sun shines on it. Beautiful crater hike from the Visato do Rei viewpoint (Miradouro da Vista Rei) approx. 22 km. Beautiful crater hike, highly recommended, a must-see.

Easy and beautiful hike around the crater. Always great views of the crater, the lakes and the sea.
