Description
Start your journey at the stunning Miradouro do Ilhéu, where panoramic views of the iconic islet of Vila Franca do Campo set the perfect tone for the day. Nearby, the Marina of Vila Franca do Campo offers a charming coastal atmosphere—ideal for a leisurely stroll or photos of the colorful fishing boats.
Continue with a visit to the Fábrica de Queijadas do Morgado, where the famous Azorean pastries have been handcrafted for generations. Enjoy a taste of local history with these sweet, cinnamon-infused treats before heading into the island’s geothermal heart.
Next, explore the spectacular Lagoa das Furnas, one of the most dramatic volcanic lakes on the island. Feel the power of nature as you witness steam rising from natural hot springs scattered around the lake.
Just moments away lies the lush Parque Terra Nostra, a centuries-old botanical garden famous for its thermal pool. Take a dip in its naturally heated, mineral-rich waters—an experience both relaxing and rejuvenating.
For lunch, savor authentic Azorean cuisine at a local restaurant, where you may try the traditional 'Cozido das Furnas'—a hearty stew slow-cooked underground using the earth’s geothermal heat.
Afterward, explore the charming Freguesia das Furnas, known for its bubbling fumaroles, mineral springs, and tranquil village vibe. Then ascend to the Miradouro do Pico do Ferro, one of the island’s most breathtaking viewpoints, offering expansive views over the Furnas Valley and its crater lake.
End your adventure at the Gorreana Tea Factory, Europe’s oldest operating tea plantation. Surrounded by lush, terraced fields, enjoy a guided tour and sample locally grown green and black teas—pure, aromatic, and crafted with centuries of tradition.
Perfect for nature lovers, foodies, and culture seekers alike, this carefully curated itinerary offers a truly immersive Azorean experience—all in one unforgettable day

Impecable
Es de esas cosas que uno recuerda años después. Los tiempos estaban bien calculados, no se sintió apurado. Nos tocó un guía excelente, con mucha data y buen humor. Hubo un rato muerto en el medio que se podría aprovechar mejor. Si volvemos a Ponta Delgada, lo repetimos.

Muito melhor do que eu imaginava. Incluir entrada de acesso reservado ao Lago das Furnas tira um problema das suas costas. Comparei preços antes de reservar e essa era a melhor opção. O grupo era pequeno e isso deixou tudo mais tranquilo.

We spent the evening talking about how good it had been. We messaged them on WhatsApp with a question and got an answer in minutes. They swapped the assigned vehicle without telling us. If we come back to Ponta Delgada, we will do it again.

Faultless
One of the highlights of our trip to Ponta Delgada. Our guide was warm and took time to chat with everyone. If only every tour were run like this.

Ótimo atendimento
Nada a reclamar, tudo saiu como estava descrito. Mandamos uma dúvida no WhatsApp e responderam em minutos. Usamos entrada para o Parque Terra Nostra o tempo todo e funcionou perfeitamente. Nosso guia conduziu o grupo impecavelmente, ninguém ficou para trás. Das melhores coisas que contratamos pela internet.

Nos sorprendió para bien. De todo el recorrido, La Ruta de los Volcanes es lo que más recuerdo. Comparé precios antes de reservar y esta era la opción más conveniente. Volveríamos a contratarlo.
