Route to Lagoa do Congro

The island of Sao Miguel is full of green spaces and natural areas to explore. The path to Lagoa do Congro is one of the most amazing places to visit, due to the concentration of native flora you can find here. A few kilometres from Lagoa do Fogo and the Lombadas Valley Nature Reserve lies a crater forming a lagoon. It's a great contrast to the towering volcanic cones surrounding it. The vegetation is so dense here the sun can't get through. An imposing forest of cedars, pines and eucalyptus welcomes anyone who wants to delve into the lagoon. Along the way you will find other species like laurel leaves, that leave a blanket of orange leaves along the paths you'll travel.
