Immerse yourself in the unique volcanic landscapes of São Miguel touring the Furnas Valley, visiting an enchanting botanical garden and relaxing in the hot springs.
Furnas Valley, Botanical Gardens & Hot Springs Tour
We'll meet at the scheduled time at the port in Vila Franca do Campo, ready to embark on a fascinating tour of some of the must-see natural places on the island of São Miguel.
First, we'll drive through the Furnas Valley to see the fumaroles and geysers of boiling water that create an atmospheric mist over the volcanic landscapes. Reaching a high point, we'll get to see the crater lake of Furnas and the fumes rising from the water - the lake is located right above the volcano!
We'll then make our way down to the village to enjoy a traditional lunch: a stew cooked in an underground oven, a delicious local speciality! With renewed energy, you'll then have an hour of free time to explore the narrow streets of Furnas.
Then we'll enter the Terra Nostra Garden, a botanical garden where we'll see a beautiful selection of native and imported flowers. It's also home to one of the largest collections of camellias in the world, with more than 600 varieties.
What could make this experience better? Inside the garden, we'll have the opportunity to bathe in the volcanic hot springs and enjoy the relaxing mineral-rich waters. A true delight!
At 5:30 pm, the tour will end back at the original starting point.
