Hi, my name is Mario and I am an Azorean born local guide in Azores. Since the year 2000, I have been transmitting to my clients, the best experiences, traditions, history and culture of the Azorean Island of S Miguel. My goal is to make you feel one of us, getting to know our historical traditions, having gastronomic experiences, tasting the best of our local products, visiting the immense natural park that we are, bathing in our natural heated pools. All this, in relaxed and compelling private tours, friendly environment, as if you were with a group of friends just getting the best of your stay. What I do is what I love to do. And I do it passionately because I love my Island. I may say that I am fortunate to have the profession that I chose, which I believe is the key to be able to transmit and make my "Guests" feel at home and part of a community, enjoying every bit of their stay.

Overview of your Ponta Delgada tour

Imagine yourself inside a volcano, where steaming boilers abound and the FOOD is cooked under the ground, where you can bathe in iron water at 39ºC and stroll through an exotic Botanical Garden. Get ready for a MEMORABLE day. What I propose is a true odyssey for your senses, awakening the best sensations in each one, supported by centuries and centuries of tradition from these inhabitants of the Furnas volcano. We start with Tta, from Gorreana of course, produced in the only industrial plantation in Europe. The Thermal Bath, in waters naturally heated by the volcano to 39ºC, full of minerals, will allow you to relax like never before. The "Cozido das Furnas" dish, cooked under the ground with the volcanic heat, which gives a unique flavor, is a gastronomic specialty of our Island. A true delicacy of the gods. Finally, the cheesecake from Vila Franca do Campo, whose secret is kept under lock and key. Curious! Come and explore this corner enchanted by fumaroles, and by the warm waters of Furnas.
