On this tour we feel and experience the volcanic origins of the Island in Furnas, a magical place. We start by visiting the Caldeiras da Lagoa das Furnas (Furnas Lake Calderas), a place where we cook the famous “cozido das Furnas” (a very special meal cooked only with the steam of the Earth) and continue with a soft walk that crosses a stream and circles the lakeside. During this walk we have the opportunity to appreciate a variety of endemic flora species.

Enchanted gardens, clear view, very knowledgeable guide ( Maria), comfortable air conditioning van.
You won't be disappointed.
Bring your bathing suit.. NOT WHITE OR LIGHT COLOURED. The orange water stains anything light.

We had an amazing time despite the fog and heavy rain. Our guide Felipe was very knowledgeable. The lunch was delicious.
The only disappointment (not the guide’s fault) was the bathing experience at Terra Nostra. They are currently refurbishing and some areas are closed and they didn’t have a suitable changing room area.
Overall a fantastic worthwhile experience.
