The Caldeira de Guilherme Moniz is the largest volcanic crater in the archipelago, with a perimeter of 9 miles (15 km). It has a flat and verdant interior, although erosion has left its traces and big parts of the crater walls have collapsed. Its rounded edges, covered with trees, drop steeply mainly on its western flank, while its southern edge is bordered by the Serra do Morião, which, with its Pico Rosto, reaches a height of about 630 m. The plain at the bottom of the caldera is accessible by a path from its north side.
