At 334 meters above sea level, it is the fourth-largest lake on the island, covering 25 hectares (about 62 acres), with a depth of 29 meters and a width of 475 meters.

Here, you’ll feel the true spirit of the Azores — untamed, serene, and impossibly beautiful. The landscape seems to shift with every passing cloud: one moment mysterious and misty, the next bursting with color under the island sun.
- Salto do Cabrito - Nestled in the lush green hills near Ribeira Grande, Salto do Cabrito is one of São Miguel’s most captivating natural treasures — a place where adventure and tranquility meet in perfect harmony.
As you approach, you’ll hear it before you see it: the soothing roar of cascading water echoing through the forest. Suddenly, the view opens to reveal a 30-meter waterfall plunging into a crystal-clear pool, surrounded by volcanic rock and vibrant vegetation. It’s a scene straight out of a dream.
- Ponta da Cintrao - On the island’s rugged northern coast, where land meets the endless Atlantic, lies Ponta do Cintrão — a breathtaking headland that captures the untamed spirit of the Azores.
