Furnas by Night: Romantic & Mystical Thermal Escape

Unwind in the nocturnal mystique of Dona Beija: warm thermal waters, gentle steam, and a magical, otherworldly ambiance. Savor volcanic-cooked Cozido (optional), and brew your tea at a hot spring.
Begin with a scenic drive along São Miguel’s coastline, passing the idyllic islet of Vila Franca do Campo, as the Atlantic breeze whispers tales of the island’s volcanic origins.

Next, wander around the serene Furnas Lagoon (Lagoa das Furnas), nestled within the verdant caldera. This magical area is a haven for hikers and nature lovers, where endemic and exotic species coexist in a vibrant ecosystem.

For those seeking a gastronomic adventure, you can optionally enjoy a full traditional lunch at a local restaurant by selecting the add-on. The meal features starter, main course, drinks, desserts, and coffee or tea. Vegetarian options are available, and alternative dishes for children can be arranged with prior notice.

After dinner, immerse yourself in the thermal pools of Poça da Dona Beija, where water temperatures hover between 37–39ºC (99–102ºF). Surrounded by lush vegetation and softly glowing lights, this romantic and mystical setting is perfect for relaxation, rejuvenation, and reflection, as the iron-rich waters soothe both body and soul.

As night falls, the tour culminates with a visit to the Caldeiras area of Furnas village, where steaming vents and boiling pools create a breathtaking natural light and mist spectacle. Complete your mystical journey by brewing your own tea or coffee using one of Furnas’ natural hot springs, and savor it with local biscuits for a truly unique and memorable experience.
