Private Full Day Tour to Furnas with Lunch

This tour offers an exclusive opportunity for visitors to engage with natural environments in a distinctive setting on an active volcano and amidst a serene wilderness lake.

Departing from Ponta Delgada, travelers embark on a scenic journey along the southern coastline of São Miguel Island. This route offers an opportunity to explore the rugged volcanic terrain of the Furnas Valley, renowned for its dramatic landscapes. Upon reaching the valley, visitors are greeted by the picturesque Botanical Garden, established in the 18th century. This lush oasis provides an idyllic setting for swimming in a hot thermal pool, offering both relaxation and therapeutic benefits.

The culinary highlight of the region awaits as well; the traditional Portuguese dish, Cozido na Caldeira, prepared using the volcanic soil’s inherent heat, transports diners to the heart of the island's gastronomic traditions. The aromatic flavors and robust textures of this hearty stew make it a quintessential part of the local cuisine.

Following the exploration of the valley, the group ascends to the viewpoint of Pico do Ferro, capturing breathtaking panoramas of the surrounding area. Upon returning to Ponta Delgada, they proceed via the island's northern highway and pause at the remnants of Europe's sole teak plantation and teak processing facility. This unique blend of natural beauty and historical significance adds another layer of interest to the tour.
