Why Sete Cidades Twin Lakes matters
Sete Cidades is the Azores' most famous view: two crater lakes side by side, often described as one blue and one green. The best view is from the Vista do Rei viewpoint on the rim, though clouds can hide it. Check the weather and be patient.
Talking points
- Clouds may hide the lakes.
- A viewpoint sits on the rim.
- Trails circle the caldera.
