Vista do Rei - Sete Cidades Route is a scenic hiking trail that starts at the Vista do Rei viewpoint, leading you through the stunning Sete Cidades crater with its lakes and volcanic formations. Along the way, you can take a detour to Lomba do Vasco for a view of the west coast. The trail ends in the charming village of Sete Cidades, where you can explore the requalification project of the lake banks and Casa do Parque. It's an easy 7.7 km walk that takes about 2 hours, perfect for a leisurely adventure in nature.

Before setting off on your hike, be sure to check the weather and cloud conditions via the local webcam 1 and webcam 2. For more details about the trail, visit the official Visit Azores website.
