πŸ”ŸπŸ”ŸπŸ”ŸπŸ”Ÿ Pico do Ferro Viewpoint

 


PICO DO FERRO VIEWPOINT
37.77208, -25.33464

The Pico do Ferro Viewpoint is one of the most visited viewpoints on SΓ£o Miguel Island. It could be said to be the most famous in the area for its incredible views, from the heights, of Lagoa das Furnas. From this viewpoint, you can also enjoy views of the Caldeiras, located just below, the lagoon's shores. 

The Pico do Ferro Viewpoint is located at an altitude of 570 meters above sea level. Easily reached by car, but for those up for a walk, there's also a hiking trail starting in the Caldeiras area. This trail is approximately 4.5 km long and is considered somewhat difficult because there is quite a steep incline if you start from the Caldeiras (429 m).​

To avoid the steep climb, you can hike the trail in the opposite direction, from Pico do Ferro Viewpoint to the Caldeiras, and then return by taxi. Although it's a challenging route, it's quite popular among people visiting the area, and you're likely to encounter other hikers.
