Description
Discover the beauty of São Miguel Island on a half-day tour to Furnas. Visit tea plantations, witness the removal of "cozido," and explore the village's hot springs and fumaroles.
Begin with a scenic stop at the stunning Santa Iria viewpoint, offering panoramic views over the rugged northern coastline, green cliffs, and the Atlantic Ocean. Soak in the beauty of São Miguel and capture memorable photos.
Next, explore Europe’s only tea plantations, where you’ll discover the history and production process of Azorean tea. Wander through the lush Gorreana or Porto Formoso tea fields, and enjoy a complimentary tasting of locally produced green and black teas.
Then, head to Pico do Ferro, a breathtaking viewpoint overlooking the lush Furnas Valley and its tranquil lagoon. From here, get a unique perspective of the volcanic landscape that defines this part of the island.
At the Furnas Lagoon, witness a time-honored Azorean tradition: the removal of the "cozido", a local stew slow-cooked underground using the natural geothermal heat of the volcano. This is a rare chance to see this centuries-old cooking method in action.
Finish the experience with a guided stroll through Furnas village, where you'll observe bubbling fumaroles, steaming vents, and natural hot springs. Taste a variety of mineral waters straight from the springs – each with its own distinctive flavor and temperature.
