Overview

Discover the volcanic wonders of Furnas on this full-day guided van tour, perfect for those who want to explore nature, culture, and local flavors in comfort.

Travel through the scenic countryside with stops at Vila Franca do Campo—where you can try the famous Queijada da Vila pastry (optional, not included)—and the Gorreana Tea Factory, Europe’s oldest tea plantation.

At Furnas Lake, see how the traditional Cozido stew is cooked underground using volcanic heat—then enjoy it at a local restaurant.

Relax in the thermal pools of Terra Nostra Garden, one of the most iconic botanical parks in the Azores, and take in the stunning views from Pico do Ferro viewpoint.

The tour includes all entrance fees, lunch, and expert guidance on volcanic activity, Azorean traditions, and the island’s lush landscape. With small groups and comfortable transport, you’ll enjoy a more intimate experience—more like a private day with friends than a big bus tour. The ideal way to explore!

Caldeira das 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.
