7. Lagoa do Canario
(Canario Lagoon)

The Lagoa do Canario is another stunning lagoon on São Miguel Island. This natural wonder is located very close to the Lagoa das Sete Cidades and is part of the Forest Park of Mata do Canario. The lagoon is of volcanic origin and is situated at an altitude of 575 meters above sea level.

​

The main attraction of the Lagoa do Canario is its natural beauty. The water of the lagoon is of an intense green color and is surrounded by lush vegetation. Additionally, the lagoon is ideal for hiking and enjoying nature.

​

In fact, from the parking lot of the Lagoa do Canario, two trails start that we highly recommend to anyone visiting the island: the PRC05 SMI, which runs through the Serra Devassa, and the linear trail that leads to the Grota do Inferno Viewpoint (or Boca do Inferno).

​

If you want to learn more about these trails, carefully read the information about the Serra Devassa and the Miradouro da Grota do Inferno that you will find in the following places in this area.
