Go in the morning for best photographs and to get ahead of most visitors (sun at back). If you can't walk very far or are short of time, don't park in the parking lot by the main road. If the gate is open, drive in and follow the dirt road that everyone is hiking along to the very base of the ridge where the trail goes uphill to the actual "miradouro"/viewpoint. There is room for several cars there. The view is amazing. If you have bad knees, bring trekking poles. It's about 5 minutes uphill to the viewpoint, depending on your uphill capability.

This is a must do on a trip to Sao Miguel. Make sure you've got enough days on the island to see this on a clear or at least semi clear day. This is a popular place, be prepared for crowds. There are several different parking lots and bathrooms. If you're agile, you can go to the top of the abandoned hotel. The views from up there are even better. But, you are trespassing and it's definitely not a place I would bring small children. This is a jaw dropping view and one you won't see every day. Snap a few photos, then just stand in awe.

My wife and I visited here in November and this was a bucket list destination! The two lakes are incredible and we even took the time to paddle board and kayak on the large blue lake. We had it to ourselves!

The Park’s Shop is a focal point for the promotion of Sao Miguel Nature Park, in particular for the Lagoas das Sete Cidades (lagoon), classified as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Portugal. You can collect several information about the Nature Park’s protected areas, including walking trails, geology, flora, fauna, water resources, classified heritage, among others. Inserted in the redevelopment project of the margins of the Lagoa das Sete Cidades, this visitor support House aims to be both a knowledge and tourism promotion space as well as interpretation of the surrounding area, conducting educational activities within the Nature Park education service.
