The natural beauty is the main highlight of Lagoa do Caiado, which despite being located at 800 meters altitude and subject to bad weather (strong winds and fog), still receives many visitors, especially those who like to observe birds.
It is part of a nucleus of small lagoons, in the Partial Natural Forest Reserve of Lagoa do Caiado, on the central plateau.
The main species of the place are: woodcock, common snipe, marrequinha, heron, lavandeira and finch of the Azores. It is a very nice place and worth a visit.
