Miradouro Lagoa Negra e Lagoa Comprida is a viewpoint located on Flores Island in the Azores, Portugal. It offers stunning views of two of the island’s most picturesque lakes: Lagoa Negra and Lagoa Comprida.

- Lagoa Negra is named after its dark, almost black waters, which create a striking contrast with the surrounding lush green vegetation. The lake is set in a volcanic crater, giving it a mysterious and dramatic appearance.

- Lagoa Comprida is a long, narrow lake that sits adjacent to Lagoa Negra. Its waters are clearer and lighter in color, creating a beautiful juxtaposition with Lagoa Negra.

The viewpoint itself is easily accessible by car and offers a peaceful spot to take in the natural beauty of Flores. The area around the lakes is known for its untouched nature, with dense forests, endemic plants, and the occasional waterfall. The landscape here is typical of Flores, characterized by steep cliffs, rolling hills, and abundant greenery.

This spot is a favorite among visitors to the island for its serene atmosphere and breathtaking views, making it a must-see when exploring Flores.
