The Azores is one of the best trips you can take in 2026. Save these 5 must-see spots on São Miguel that are easy to work into a road trip.⬇️ 1. Miradouro Boca do Inferno One of the best viewpoints in the Azores overlooking the twin lakes of Sete Cidades. A short walk leads to wide panoramic views of green and blue water surrounded by volcanic ridges. Go early for calmer conditions and fewer people. 2. Caldeira Velha Hot Springs A lush geothermal area with warm pools and waterfalls tucked into the forest. There are multiple pools so you can choose which temperature you want. Great stop after a day of hiking or driving the island. 3. Lagoa do Fogo A crater lake sitting high above the island with constantly changing clouds and light. Access can be restricted during peak hours, so timing matters. When it’s clear, this is one of the most dramatic landscapes on São Miguel. 4. Sete Cidades A massive volcanic caldera with two differently colored lakes and small villages along the rim. You can explore viewpoints, walk along the lakeshore, or drive the perimeter for nonstop scenery. 5. Salto do Cabrito A waterfall reached by a scenic trail through a narrow volcanic valley. The hike passes old aqueducts and geothermal features before ending at a powerful cascade. One of the most rewarding short hikes on the island. If you have more time, São Miguel has countless coastal viewpoints, natural pools, and volcanic hiking trails — these spots are perfect anchors for exploring the island by car. I’m still thinking about our trips to this island, and we’re hoping to go back again in July. Follow @lukekellytravels for more travel ideas. #azores #saomiguel #portugal #travel #roadtrip
