What Água de Pau does best

Água de Pau climbs the slope of the volcanic massif that holds Lagoa do Fogo. No bus goes up to the lake, but the south-coast lines print stops in the parish, which is where a walk towards the mountain begins.

The massif

The Água de Pau massif rises directly behind the parish; the lake sits in its crater.

On the way to Vila Franca

The coast lines continue east to Vila Franca do Campo and Povoação.

Good to know

  • Lines 314, 315, 318 and N04 print Água de Pau stops; none continues to Lagoa do Fogo.

AzoresBus publishes no stop coordinates, and no printed stop name here matched an OpenStreetMap node exactly on the read date, so no coordinates are shown rather than guessed.
