This great depression features a nearly circular outline, called caldera, with an average diameter of 5.3 km and a maximum depth of about 630 meters, was formed about 36.000 years, giving rise to the largest lake in the Azores.
The Caldeira Velha, located on the northern flank of the fire volcano, integrates a secondary volcanism zone composed of fumaroles, and a thermal spring sprouting on rail fracture at the base of coulée trachyte. This spring, and the associated creeck, feeds two waterfalls, the second of which has a dam on his base, that creates a pleasant bathing area, surrounded by a lush vegetation.
