Miradouro do Cerrado das Freiras

Miradouro do Cerrado das Freiras offers an unparalleled view of Sete Cidades' twin lakes, distinct for their green and blue hues, caused by algae and depth differences reflecting sunlight variably. Unlike more crowded viewpoints, this spot provides a more serene atmosphere, allowing for unobstructed photography. Early mornings or late afternoons are ideal for capturing the lakes’ colors with soft, natural light, and fewer tourists. The area's lush greenery and the panoramic vista serve as a perfect backdrop for landscape shots. Visitors should also explore the nearby trails leading to hidden angles of the lakes and the encompassing crater, presenting unique photo opportunities with diverse perspectives of this volcanic wonder. Remember to check the weather, as fog can quickly obscure the view.
