Sete Cidades Essentials

Sete Cidades centers on a massive volcanic caldera containing the iconic twin lakes, Lagoa Verde and Lagoa Azul. This selection highlights the diverse perspectives of the crater, from the high northern rim at Miradouro da Cumeeira to the narrow ridge of Boca do Inferno. Within the crater, the village of Sete Cidades features the neo-Gothic Igreja de São Nicolau, while the ruins of the 1980s Monte Palace hotel provide a brutalist contrast to the natural landscape. The area is defined by its volcanic geology, including the smaller, deep-green Lagoa de Santiago.

Sete Cidades Viewpoints

This collection spans the rim of the Sete Cidades volcanic massif, a three-mile-wide caldera formed by successive collapses over 22,000 years. These vantage points overlook the twin Blue and Green lakes, the deep emerald Lagoa de Santiago, and the rugged Atlantic coastline. The sites range from the historic Vista do Rei on the southern edge to the high-altitude ridge of Grota do Inferno and the western slopes overlooking the Mosteiros islets.
