Discover the Furnas Valley
Furnas, São Miguel, Portugal
Furnas makes the volcanic origins of São Miguel tangible through steaming springs, a crater lake and the distinctive sulphurous air around its geothermal areas. Combine time in the village with a lakeside walk, then visit the gardens or arrange thermal bathing separately. The contrasts are the attraction: cultivated greenery sits close to active ground. Follow marked paths around the springs, and check the admission arrangements for individual gardens and pools before planning the order of your day.
