- Lagoa do Fogo - The Fogo Volcanic Complex, covering an area of 2182 hectares, is home to a rich variety of endemic flora and features secondary volcanic activity, including fumaroles and hot springs.
The caldera of the Fogo Volcano is the smallest caldera collapse on the island of São Miguel, dating back approximately 15,000 years.
Due to its elevated location, it remains the most pristine area with minimal human impact. It has been classified as a Nature Reserve since 1974 due to its significant hydrological value.
Its structure plays a crucial role in replenishing underground water, regulating the water cycle, producing biomass, and retaining sediments and nutrients, earning it the classification as a Ramsar site.
