Miradouro do Pico do Ferro
A high viewpoint on the rim of the Furnas caldera, overlooking Furnas Lake, the steaming geothermal area, and the full panorama of the village.
Miradouro do Pico do Ferro lies on the ridge between Furnas Lake and Furnas village, with views across the whole crater: the lake, geothermal steam rising from its northern shore, a small chapel beside the lake, and the village of Furnas in the distance. There is a parking area, a picnic area, and barbecue grills, and entry is free. From Furnas village it is about a 10-minute drive uphill. It is recommended to see the full view here first, then go down to the lake and the village.
