THE LAKES OF TEARS
The Legend of the Princess and the Shepherd
Sete Cidades, São Miguel Island.
Arguably *the* iconic Azorean view! 🤩
Standing on the rim of this vast volcanic caldera, looking down at the legendary twin lakes – Lagoa Azul & Lagoa Verde – is quite something. Watch the reel to learn about the legend of these two lakes, the lakes of tears…
The classic Vista do Rei viewpoint delivers that postcard panorama (though be prepared to share with plenty of other tourists). For sheer drama, Boca do Inferno offers incredible ridge-top perspectives... if the notoriously changeable Azorean weather plays ball - fog happens often! ☁️
Beyond the main viewpoints, don't miss the peaceful village below or the quieter beauty of nearby Lagoa do Canário. Patience (and maybe waterproofs!) is key, but the photographic rewards when the light hits right are immense. ✨
