Furnas Volcano, Lake, Geysers, Tea Plantation and Terra Nostra

5 hours

Easy

This is a great way for you to get to know the ways around the island where the best of its highlights are located: the Center (Lagoa do Fogo volcano); and Furnas (Lake, village, Poça D. Beija hot springs, Gorreana Tea Plantation)
The perfect day in São Miguel even if it's raining, is exploring the volcano activity at Furnas: “caldeiras”; geysers; thermal springs.

Have time to visit and bathe at the Terra Nostra Park and hot springs. Entrance fee is not included, you can purchase it at the entrance of the park on the day (subject to availability).

If you prefer not to visit the park you can spend more time exploring the Furnas village and take the chance to taste and buy island famous products: Tea, “Bolo Lêvedo”, steamed Corn Cob, “Queijadas”, and many others. Or having lunch. Although not included you can stop to lunch the typical "cozido", at a local restaurant. Please advise so we book in advance.

Explore the tea plantation slopes and factory at Gorreana Tea Plantation.

Pit stop along the way on key viewpoints like Santa Iria and Pico do Ferro.

This experience takes about 5h. Please note if you stop for lunch we might need to take less time on other locations.
