Miradouro Serra do Cume, Panoramic viewpoint in Terceira Island, Portugal
The Serra do Cume viewpoint stands at 545 meters above sea level, offering views of green pastures divided into geometric patterns across eastern Terceira Island.
The agricultural landscape visible from Serra do Cume reflects centuries of Portuguese farming practices established during the colonization of Terceira Island in the 15th century.
The divided fields visible from Serra do Cume demonstrate traditional Azorean farming methods, where stone walls separate parcels used for cattle grazing and crop cultivation.
The viewpoint includes a designated parking area and remains accessible year-round via a paved road connecting to the main routes of Terceira Island.
From this observation point, visitors can see both the Atlantic Ocean and the Ilhéus das Cabras islets while observing over 2,000 small agricultural plots below.
