When I visited this place was despite constant weather a permanent cool wind my constant companion. I recommend to pack a windbreaker. It has a great view and a nice path leads from the parking lot here and around the lake further down again.

June 16, 2025,Boca do Inferno und Lagoa Impadadas

We arrived at the parking lot shortly before 9 a.m. and weren't alone, so we started at the Boca do Inferno viewpoint. The path there begins opposite the parking lot. You can walk past the closed gate on the side. It leads along wide paths through a park. Only at the end do you reach the ridge path with wooden …

June 2, 2022,AZOREN: São Miguel: Hohlwege und Kraterseen, scenic!

One of my favorite tours on Sao Miguel, as it is very varied and has wonderful views. Partly a bit touristy, but then completely lonely again. Great!

August 2, 2023,Acores-Portugal-Boca do Inferno-6 Lagoas- Phototour

Almost a Touristic Path. Go early in the morning beacause there is not so much shade. The part to Boca do inferno is really used an done for massive touristical purposes. You won't meet an alpinist ;-) . Large ways to get there and no spectacular path. The view point is overcrowded by selfi-tourists. only 500 meters of the path …

July 24, 2024,Zum Pico da Cruz, Lagoa das Empadadas und Blick zum Lagoa Azul

If the weather is so clear, you have to go to the mountains here, otherwise everything is usually shrouded in fog. So today there was another premium hike that promised many views.

Compared to 2017, I was shocked by the large number of tourists from all over the world. Back then, the Azores were still an "insider tip", but after …

Today we went to THE tourist hotspot on São Miguel. 📸
In contrast to the other Azores islands, São Miguel is much more developed for tourism, although it is still far from being a mass tourism island. Nevertheless, there were quite a few crowds at the "Boca do Inferno" viewing point today, which is also due to the fact that …

March 30, 2026,Von Lagoa de Empadadas zum Grota do Inferno

At first, only the hike to Empadadas and Pico do Paul was planned. Then we decided to connect the next hike with this one and continue to Lagoa Canario and from there hike to the viewpoint. On the way back, we added a section and went up to two more crater lakes.
So it turned out to be a somewhat …
