Furnas: the Mystic Tour (w/Dinner & Thermal Baths Incl.)

Visit the lively Lagoa das Furnas, discover the true mysticism of Furnas at night. Indulge your taste buds with the traditional “Cozido das Furnas”. Sip your body and soul in the hotsprings at the golden hour, between dusk and night.

We’ll start this tour by sightseeing some of the beautiful coastline landscapes and the islet of Vila Franca do Campo while we drive towards Furnas. This trip takes around 45 min. from Ponta Delgada.

The “Lagoa das Furnas” (Furnas Lagoon), naturally nestled within a caldera (dormant volcano) stands out as a prominent attraction for tourists, hikers, biologists, and bird watchers alike, owing to its diverse array of endemic and invasive flora and fauna species freely roaming this area (non-dangerous). Being an area so rich in geo thermal activity, here the locals improvised an unique way of taking advantage of this for cooking an unique portuguese dish: the “Cozido das Furnas”, a mix of meats, vegetables and tubers that are slowly cooked underground for 6-7 hours.

As part of the gastronomical experience of this tour we’ll try the aforementioned geo-cooked stew at a traditional local restaurant with Starter, Main Dish, Drinks, Dessert and Coffee included in the menu (vegetarian option available and alternative dishes for children with pre-warning).

– Sip your body and soul into hotsprings pools at a temperature of around 39ºC (102ºF) surrounded by a scenario of splendid vegetation and enriched with bird sounds, a moment of relaxation and contemplation that’ll take your mind off the daily routine and worries. The rich ferrous waters are known as a great skin care but not suitable for dyed hairs. Skip the line to enter, we take care of everything for you.
Some medical conditions may be incompatible with thermal baths, please have in this mind before booking.

Take a short walk through the Alameda Garden right next to the Furnas center, embrace the environment around the sweet water streamlet, observe an hidden aquarium and a human-made waterfall.

We’ll finish off our tour admiring the impressive boiling water pools at Furnas during the night time: a smoke and lights show given by nature awaits you, an unique experience in Azores. Have a taste of the rich mineral waters springs and enjoy a local homemade sweet delicacy.

We’ll drive back through the northern side of the island in a safe and relaxed environment. During this trip, that’ll take around 40 min., you’ll be able to have a nap and/or receive suggestions for other places to visit and to do around the island.
