I had the pleasure of being invited by the owner of the company for "The Chef for a Day" experience. Evaristo, the most hospitable, warm and gracious host, took me to the local market early in the morning. Later, he opened his home to me, showing me how to prepare a local fish stew. We made it together in his kitchen and then drove to the fumaroles in Furnas to put it in the ground to cook for a few hours. During the cooking time, he took me on a lovely hike through Grena Park and even drove me to a nearby fishing village to show me the views. We later feasted on his amazing fish cozido at a picnic table right by the lake. He even purchased some island cheeses, bread and incredible wine from Pico Island for me to enjoy. THE MOST UNUSAL AND WONDERFUL DAY IN GREAT COMPANY! I also did 2 hiking tours with them and they were fantastic. THIS COMPANY HAS MY HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!

My husband and I were able to enjoy this amazing experience together with our fantastic guide Andre. Andre took us through the whole process from buying the food, preparing it, burying it, and enjoying an absolutely delicious meal. Thanks for letting us experience this local tradition. This is a full day with hiking, bathing in hot springs, and sight seeing. We highly recommend it to anyone visiting San Miguel!

Spent a week with Andre a very knowledgeable and accommodating guide. Our day at Lake Furness with Andre and Evaristo was truly memorable. We went to the market and bought our fresh ingredients. Then off to a beautiful venue where we prepared the meal for cooking in the ground at the Thermal springs. We walked and toured the area which was breathtaking while our meal cooked. Our meal was served with all the trimmings at a very posh venue. Fun times with our group of 5 ladies and these two accommodating gentlemen. Unforgettable. Highly recommend.
