About
On Flores (Azores), Miradouro da Caldeira Rasa e Caldeira Funda is known for its position above two volcanic craters, reached by an unnamed road in the 9960 area of the island. The viewpoint looks over the Caldeira Rasa and Caldeira Funda, two collapsed craters that give the site its name and its draw. Santa Cruz das Flores, Lajes das Flores, Fajã Grande, Fajãzinha and Caveira sit across the island, and the viewpoint is one of the stops that draws visitors between these settlements.
First-time visitors can expect a roadside viewpoint with open views over the crater floors, reached by road from the island's main towns. A 4.8 out of 5 average across 179 reviews marks it as one of the island's better-regarded stops. The route from Santa Cruz das Flores and Lajes das Flores makes the viewpoint reachable by car, with Fajã Grande and Fajãzinha further along the coast.
Portugal's islands have a mild oceanic climate, with green landscapes through the year and most rain in winter. Pico in the Azores is the highest mountain in Portugal, and vineyards there grow inside walls of volcanic stone.
Sperm whales, dolphins and seabirds such as Cory's shearwater are seen on whale-watching trips from several ports. The islands were settled by the Portuguese from the fifteenth century and became stopping points on Atlantic shipping routes.
