Lagoa do Fogo is a volcanic crater lake on São Miguel Island in Portugal’s Azores archipelago. Set within a protected landscape in the island’s central highlands, the lake occupies a large caldera surrounded by steep slopes covered with native vegetation. Its remote setting and undeveloped shoreline distinguish it from the more settled areas of São Miguel.
Georgetown, Guyana’s capital, is a city of wooden cathedrals, tree-lined canals, and street corners alive with music, food, and political discussion. Located at the mouth of the Demerara River, the streets still follow the Dutch grid system, and the city’s architectural signature, with its elegant wooden buildings with louvered shutters and fretwork, make it one of the most visually distinct capitals in South America.
