BARROSA VIEWPOINT
37.76457, -25.49550
The view of the lake from here is stunning, but the parking could be better. It’s much easier to park at the Miradouro da Lagoa do Fogo further down the road.Secondly, and this is the big one, the EN5-2A on which this viewpoint sits is restricted at certain times of the year ( I believe June to September) for anyone without a guiding permit, and this was the case in August when we visited when other tourists in hire cars are not permitted to use the road after 9.00 am. You have to park in the car parks at the bottom on each side and take either the red or blue shuttle busses to the lake viewpoints ( charge of 5 euros). And as the busses only run every 30 minutes you can imagine how chaotic it could be in high season
In the middle of October, the parking was easy, and no access constraints.
LAGOA DO FOGO VIEWPOINT
37.76996, -25.48759
On your way to the Lagoa do Fogo, this viewpoint allows you to appreciate the beauty and plenitude of the surrounding region (Ribeira Grande, Santa Bárbara and Rabo de Peixe).
