Excellent viewpoint for Lagoa do Fogo, but you have to know how to access before attempting to visit.
Miradouro Da Lagoa Do Fogo的点评
点评:Firstly the mountain this lake sits in is prone to being covered in low lying cloud and if this is the case then it’s not worth the trip. Although the ‘lake of fire’ got its name from the 1563 eruption the name sticks because it is frequently shrouded in low lying cloud, giving the impression of an erupting volcano.
Secondly the view of the lake from here is very good, and the parking (referred to on Google Maps as Parque de Estacionamento) is also very good here. It’s much easier to park here than at the Miradouro da Barrosa further and higher up the road, although I would argue the view is slightly better from the higher viewpoint.
And thirdly, and this is the big one, the EN5-2A on which this viewpoint sits is restricted at certain times of the year (I believe June to September) for anyone without a guiding permit, and this was definitely the case in August when we visited, when other tourists in hire cars are not permitted to use the road after 9.00am and you have to park in the car parks at the bottom on each side and take either the red or blue shuttle busses to the lake viewpoint’s ( charge of 5euros). And as the busses only run every 30 minutes you can imagine how chaotic this has the potential to be in high season.
翻译:首先,这座湖所在的山很容易被低云笼罩,如果是这样的话,就不值得一游了。虽然“火湖”因 1563 年的火山爆发而得名,但这个名字之所以流传至今,是因为它经常被低云笼罩,给人一种火山喷发的印象。
其次,从这里看湖景非常好,停车场(谷歌地图上称为 Parque de Estacionamento)也很好。在这里停车比在路上更远更高处的 Miradouro da Barrosa 要容易得多,尽管我认为从更高的角度看风景会更好一些。
第三,也是最重要的一点,这个观景点所在的 EN5-2A 在一年中的某些时间(我认为是六月到九月)禁止任何没有导游许可证的人通行,我们八月份去的时候就是这种情况,上午 9 点后其他租车的游客不允许使用这条路,你必须把车停在两边底部的停车场,然后乘坐红色或蓝色的穿梭巴士前往湖边观景点(收费 5 欧元)。而且巴士每 30 分钟才一班,你可以想象在旺季这里可能会有多混乱。
