Portugal Miradouro da Grota do Inferno, São Miguel, Azores
It's an amazing place to watch all the lagoons from the Seven Cities craters and probably one of the best viewpoints on São Miguel Island. The view over Lagoa de Santiago, Lagoa das Sete Cidades, and Lagoa Rasa is simply fabulous.
The access is of great beauty, via a pedestrianized path that runs alongside Lagoa do Canário.

Photography Tips
The best time to photograph is at sunset and in the blue hour that follows.
For this reason, you should bring a torch, as the path has no public lighting.
