Miradouro do Parque Endémico do Pelado
About
On São Miguel (Azores), Miradouro do Parque Endémico do Pelado (I) stands above Lomba da Fazenda, a viewpoint on the island's northern edge. The name marks it out as one of the island's official viewing points, and the position above the parish gives it a wide sweep over the surrounding country.
First-time visitors should come prepared for changeable upland weather, since the Azores sit in the path of Atlantic fronts and cloud can move in quickly. A 4.7 out of 5 average from 126 reviews puts it among the island's better-regarded stops, and the setting rewards a slow look rather than a quick photograph.
Getting there is easiest by car from Ponta Delgada, Ribeira Grande or Nordeste along the island's northern road, with Furnas, Lagoa, Vila Franca do Campo and Povoação all within a reasonable drive for a day trip.
Whale-watching boats leave several ports on the island to find sperm whales, dolphins and Cory's shearwaters, and local tables serve limpets, tuna, grilled fish and caldeirada stews alongside island-made cheese. Ferries link islands within the same group, which makes hopping between them straightforward for anyone extending the trip.
