Discover a Paradise as You’ve Never Seen Before! Furnas, nestled within the Furnas caldera on the eastern side of São Miguel island, has flourished over time amidst its verdant exotic vegetation and abundant mineral and thermal water spring.

• We’ll start our mystic tour by sightseeing some of the beautiful coastline landscapes and the islet of Vila Franca do Campo while we drive towards Furnas.
• The “Lagoa das Furnas” (Furnas Lagoon), naturally nestled within a caldera (dormant volcano) stands out as a prominent attraction for tourists, hikers, biologists, and bird watchers alike, owing to its diverse array of endemic and invasive flora and fauna species freely roaming this area (non-dangerous). Being an area so rich in geo thermal activity, here the locals improvised an unique way of taking advantage for cooking an unique Portuguese dish: the “Cozido das Furnas”, a mix of meats, vegetables and tubers that are slowly cooked underground for 6-7 hours;
• As part of the gastronomical experience of this tour we’ll try the aforementioned geo-cooked stew at a traditional local restaurant with Starter, Main Dish, Drinks, Dessert and Coffee included in the menu (Vegetarian option available and alternative dishes for children). Beware! This restaurant is known for its abundant servings, better come hungry!
• Sip your body and soul into hot springs pools in “Poça da Dona Beija”, one of the most popular thermal facilities on the island. With natural waters at a temperature of around 39ºC (102ºF), surrounded by a scenario of splendid vegetation and enriched with bird sounds, a moment of relaxation and contemplation that’ll take your mind off the daily routine and worries at the golden hour of the day. The rich ferrous waters are known as a great skin care but not suitable for dyed hairs. Skip the line to enter, we take care of booking it for you. Some medical conditions may be incompatible with thermal baths, please consult with your physician before.
• Take a short walk through the Alameda Garden: discover an even hotter thermal pool, embrace the environment around the fresh water stream, observe an hidden aquarium and a human-made waterfall (this stop depends on the free time between dinner and the hot springs).
• We’ll finish off our tour with an interpretative walk admiring the impressive fumaroles and “caldeiras” at the center of the village at night: a smoke and lights show given by nature awaits you, an unique experience in the Azores. Here we’ll explain how the locals have been able to live so close to these geothermal events for so long and the many myths that revolve around the area. Have a taste of the rich mineral waters springs and enjoy a local homemade sweet delicacy to clean your palate after.

We’ll drive back through the northern side of the island in a safe and relaxed environment. During this trip, you’ll be able to have a nap and/or receive suggestions for other places to visit and what to do for the rest of your stay at São Miguel.
