Lagoa Azul

Highlight • Lake

The Blue Lagoon is a place with an unparalleled panorama. From this point, on the banks of the lagoon, in Sete Cidades, the contrast between the water and the caldera can be seen in a special way. It's an excellent stopping point before continuing the race.

May 27, 2022,Lagoa Azul & Verde: Hier kann man mehr Meer und Seen sehen kann.

We actually wanted to follow a Maps.me path on the ridge of the crater, but after about 20m🙈 it was over: everything had grown over and plenty of fallen trees.
