This is one of the best Miradouro’s for taking in the two main lakes of the Caldeira das Sete Cidades. Its position above Lagoa Verde with Lagoa Azul beyond allows you to view both lakes from a vertical perspective and are more likely to be able to see the different blue and green colouring of the two lakes. It also benefits from having an off road car park but it can get swamped in high season and there is a 20 minute limit, which is perfectly fine for jumping out and taking some photo’s but not if you want to do a longer walk.

The name of the site Vista do Rei speaks for itself. The view of Sete Cidades from here is truly Royal. The best in San Miguel. We reached this observation deck on foot from the town of Sete Cidades, as we arrived by bus. Most tourists come in rented cars. During the tourist season, it is full of tourists, but almost everyone is jostling within 20 meters of the site. You can go down a little down the dirt road on foot: the views will be the same, and there will be few people.

Did a mountain bike ride around the entire caldera, started and ended at the MTB place not too far from the viewpoint. Definitely worth to do that ride, around 30km, 700m climb, various lookouts and great different perspectives. Requires solid MTB skills, but not expert level. Wonderful morning around the caldera!

If its a sunny day, expect plenty of crowds but if you go beyond the standard viewing platform you will find additional spots! If you go later in the afternoon the green lake may be shaded by the ridge behind and not catch all of the sun. Amazing view!

This is a must do on a trip to Sao Miguel. Make sure you've got enough days on the island to see this on a clear or at least semi clear day. This is a popular place, be prepared for crowds. There are several different parking lots and bathrooms.
If you're agile, you can go to the top of the abandoned hotel. The views from up there are even better. But, you are trespassing and it's definitely not a place I would bring small children.
This is a jaw dropping view and one you won't see every day. Snap a few photos, then just stand in awe.

There are now two parking lots, the one to the left of the view point is for longer duration parking if you are doing hikes. The Azores website has hiking maps/walking trails for the island. There are a few hiking options depending on how long you want to wander. As with all hikes, bring sturdy shoes for this area, food and water. There are restrooms at the viewpoint.

I combined three hiking trails for a total of 30km and covered a large part of the seven cities area.
I could say that this viewpoint was the least special part of the tour. Since it is next to the road and has a parking lot next to it, it is a typical stop for tours and tourists who do not hike. If you tour the area on foot, you will find better viewpoints.

This miradouro offers a good view of the twin lakes. It is located by the road just next to an abandoned hotel. It is also near a hiking trail.

We liked this view better than Boca do Inferno because we didn't have to hike to see it. There's a nice viewing platform close to the parking lot, and there are even restrooms. Across the road is the abandoned hotel.
