Overview of your Ponta Delgada tour

Furnas are known for their volcanic activity with their fumaroles and naturally heated thermal pools at 39 degrees celcius, a place already frequented by english people since the 18th century, where you can still see some architecture with British influence. I can show you how the famous Furnas stew is cooked, with an average duration of 6 hours of cooking, about 1 meter underground, with only volcanic vapors - You have to taste this gastronomic experience, much appreciated by those who visit us and by the locals that also prepare this meal and can cook it on nature. Furnas also has a lake, stunning gardens, hotsprings, 22 diferent types of water and a botanical park with a huge thermal pool. Nearby, there is a fishing village called Ribeira Quente with a wonderful beach, and its access is made by a valley with several waterfalls and a stream next to the road that colects all waters from the 54 springs in Furnas.
