What makes Explore Furnas by Van – Full Day Tour with Lunch and Thermal Baths a unique experience ?
Lagoa das Furnas is a lake located in the Azorean island of São Miguel, Azores archipelago, in the town of Furnas and is associated with the volcanic formation of Furnas.
The various boilers emit vapors and the smell of sulfur content on nostrils. It is something amazing to see this true force of nature to be freed, not only in the boilers but also by land, by bubbling incessantly.
The Furnas Valley became popular towards the end of the 18th century, due to the growing interest in the use of mineral water to treat health problems, such as rheumatism and obesity. Furnas has hundreds of small springs and streams, all with different properties. The Terra Nostra Garden is located in the midst of this magnificent water system.
