Start by driving up to the caldera's wall through a inner road of the island, stop by a viewpoint to see both north and south coastlines and the vast hills and volcanic formations along São Miguel.

Check the old roman style aqueducts that were used to carry fresh water among villages without access to tap water back in the day. We'll stop by two different structures, one of them being one the most popular stops on social media: the Nine Windows wall of Sete Cidades,

Reach into a secluded lagoon surrounded by trees, the Lagoa do Canário can be contemplated only from a few access points. The lush vegetation of Cryptomerias and high humidity in the air, makes it like we're walking into an enchanted forest.

Take a easy walk through the natural park of Lagoa do Canario up until the viewpoint of Boca do Inferno, where one can contemplate the valleys formed around the Sete Cidades volcano, the Blue and Green lagoons and the village of Sete Cidades. From an height of around 700 meters above sea level there's a lot to appreciate.
(A minimum level of physical aptitude is required due to a steep climb to the viewpoint.)
