Don't know who is the guy in charge of maintaining the look of the Empadadas lagoa. But he masters the hedge trimmer like no one else. Deserves a trophy for his hard work. Best looking lagoa of the island, take time to make the walk around and observe his art. What a nice, calm, silent place to ressource. I would like to buy this lake! We made the entire trails from Pico do Inferno, Canario, Eguas, Rosa, Empanadas, Pico do Paul back to Canario parking in a bit more than 3 hours

Pretty nice hike. Much of the trail was exposed with no trees, which in cloudy windy weather can be unpleasant or exciting, depending on your constitution. We went clockwise and headed straight for the path through the trees, which was magical even without sun…actually it may have been even more beautiful because of the fog. The rest of the hike would probably have been nicer if it were sunnier, but that wasn’t the weather we got. Still pretty lovely!

A quiet lake, wrapped in dense green, feeling like a hidden retreat. A short, scenic trail leads you to the breathtaking Miradouro da Boca do Inferno, one of the Azores' highlights. It is a peaceful, beautiful escape into nature, embodying the serene spirit that characterizes the Azores.
