Starting point with coffee shop Caldeira Velha

Highlight • Viewpoint

The path to the park entrance starts at the "Caldeira Velha" parking lot. A short flight of stairs leads to the entrance. From the parking lot, you'll also have another fantastic view of the island to the north.

Steep descent to Lagoa do Fogo

Highlight • Trail

The descent down to the lake in the crater is an absolute dream. The unique flora in the crater leaves us in awe. However, what we descend, we have to climb back up again on the way back. A short, but worthwhile tour!

Lagoa do Fogo Trail

Highlight • Trail

On a sunny day in Somner think about sun protection - there are hardly any shady places.

Stone pier at Lagoa do Fogo

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

Attention, the path runs directly along the shore, 0-60 cm higher. There are many burrows under the bushy vegetation, as well as roots. Always look down. Progress is slow. Better is the direct and shorter path over the ridge, it joins this path again 50 m before the ascent of the stairs, which leads to the parking lot. Regardless, it's a fine scramble along the shore. That's fun.
