Captain's Lagoon

Highlight • Lake

Fascinating lagoon on Pico Island, reached by bus via ER 3-2, with parking nearby, or on foot via PR 13. At 826 meters above sea level, it offers views of unique fauna, as well as Pico Mountain ( which is typically surrounded by clouds).

Actually a great hiking landscape, unfortunately without hiking trails to the highland lakes. New ways would be worthwhile.

Lagoa do Caiado

Highlight • Lake

6.50 km

Hike from the top (accessible by car/taxi) and descend to the Pinhal Reserve picnic area. At the end, there's a rest area with restrooms and a characteristic windmill.
Hiking shoes required; the trail is well-marked but slippery in places.
Beautiful views along the entire route.
