The picturesque town of Furnas, in the heart of Sao Miguel's countryside, is a hotbed of volcanic activity. Why not come and discover its breathtaking surroundings?

Description

We'll meet on Avenida João Bosco Mota Amaral in Ponta Delgada and set off along the island's southern coastline. Our first stop will be in the coastal town of Vila Franca do Campo, where we will admire the Islet of Vila Franco do Campo: a large volcanic caldera off the town's coast.

The route will continue inland, where the landscapes reflect the volcanic activity. We will visit the calderas and lagoon of Furnas to discover the origins of various volcanic vents.

After gaining knowledge on volcanism, we will enjoy a traditional lunch at a nearby restaurant. Subsequently, we will visit the Gorreana tea plantations, one of the Azores Island's notable tea manufacturers. We will sample some of their renowned teas to appreciate their aromas and flavors. Finally, we will return to Ponta Delgada.
