Lagoa do Canário is a small lake located within Mata do Canário Forest Park. Surrounded by dense forests and rolling hills, it offers a peaceful, scenic escape.

The name “Canário” translates to “canary” in Portuguese, likely due to the abundance of songbirds in the area.

Lagoa do Canário attracts visitors with its natural beauty and serene atmosphere. Nearby is the Miradouro da Boca do Inferno viewpoint, which provides breathtaking panoramic views of the Sete Cidades lakes and surrounding landscapes—a favorite for photographers and nature enthusiasts.

Be sure to stop by the lake on your way back from the viewpoint to enjoy the beautiful forest and lake surroundings.
