• Vila Franca do Campo - The tour begins with a scenic drive along the stunning coastline, featuring views of the islet of Vila Franca do Campo as we head towards Furnas. This journey takes approximately 45 minutes from Ponta Delgada.

• Lagoa das Furnas - The “Lagoa das Furnas” (Furnas Lagoon), nestled within a dormant volcanic caldera, is a major attraction for tourists, hikers, biologists, and bird watchers. It boasts a rich variety of endemic and non-dangerous invasive flora and fauna. The area’s geothermal activity is ingeniously utilized by locals to cook a unique Portuguese dish: the “Cozido das Furnas,” a blend of meats, vegetables, and tubers, slow-cooked underground for 6-7 hours.

• Poca da Dona Beija - Immerse yourself in the Dona Beija hot springs pools, with water temperatures around 39ºC (102ºF), surrounded by lush vegetation and the soothing sounds of birds. This is a perfect moment for relaxation and reflection, away from daily stress. The ferrous-rich waters are excellent for skin care but not recommended for dyed hair. Admission is not included. Please consult your physician if you have any medical conditions that may be incompatible with thermal baths.

• Furnas - Enjoy a leisurely stroll through the Alameda Garden near the center of Furnas. Take in the surroundings of the freshwater streamlet, discover a hidden aquarium, and admire a man-made waterfall.

• Caldeira das Furnas - Conclude the tour by marveling at the impressive boiling water pools at Furnas during the evening. Experience a natural smoke and light show, a unique spectacle in the Azores. Sample the rich mineral water springs and indulge in a local homemade sweet treat.
