The main attraction of Miradouro do Pico do Ferro is, without a doubt, its amazing setting over Lagoa das Furnas, one of the most iconic and unmissable spots on the island of S\u00e3o Miguel.

After admiring the fantastic view from the Miradouro, take the opportunity to explore Lagoa das Furnas. This is one of the ex-libris of the Azores archipelago, and is therefore one of the mandatory places to visit on the island of S\u00e3o Miguel. Lagoa das Furnas is located in an old volcanic crater and covers a large part of the caldera of the Furnas Volcano. With green waters and an environment surrounded by lush vegetation, the lagoon is a reflection of the region's intense geothermal activity, being fed by hot springs and fumaroles that dot the landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
