Description

Furnas, nestled within the Furnas volcano crater on the eastern side of São Miguel island, also known as Caldera, has flourished over time amidst its verdant exotic vegetation and abundant mineral and thermal water spring. - We'll start this tour by sightseeing some of the beautiful coastline landscapes and the islet of Vila Franca do Campo while we drive towards Furnas. - Secondly we'll visit the “Lagoa das Furnas” (Furnas Lagoon), naturally nestled within the “Caldera das Furnas,” 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 of this 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 Course, Drinks, Desserts and Coffee/Tea included in the menu (vegetarian option available and alternative dishes for children with pre-warning). - Sip your body and soul into the hotsprings pools of Poça da Dona Beija. At a temperature between 37-39ºC (99-102ºF), surrounded by a scenario of splendid vegetation enriched by bird sounds, this outdoor thermals are always under high demand, especially during the golden hour of the day. The switch from dusk to night make it a true moment of relaxation and contemplation that'll take your mind off the daily routine and all the worries. The rich ferrous waters are famous for its therapeutical and cosmetic effects. The hot springs ticket is not included.
