This trail begins on a dirt road that leads you through a forest rich in Eucalyptus, Australian Cheesewood, Acacias, and Yellow Ginger Lilies. Along the way, you’ll also encounter several species of Typha, a plant native to New Zealand.
As you continue, you’ll explore the Lagoa do Fogo water trails (levadas), where you’ll discover endemic Azorean plants such as Uva da Serra (Vaccinium cylindraceum), Urze (Erica azorica), Folhado (Viburnum tinus), and Linguee. Along the ascent, there are several viewpoints offering stunning vistas of the south coast of São Miguel Island and the islet of Vila Franca do Campo. Finally, the trail leads you to the breathtaking Lagoa do Fogo, the island’s largest lake, nestled in the heart of a volcanic crater.
