With a name that translates as Fire Lake, you'd expect Lagoa do Fogo to be all scorched earth and black volcanic rock. Far from it. Think rolling green peaks, sandy shores and seemingly endless cedar wood forest surrounding one of the largest lakes in the Azores. This 11km trail takes you to several scenic spots and ends with a well-earned swim.
