Welcome to the green heart of the Azores, where nature is incomparably beautiful: the Furnas Valley. In this Azorean place, the exuberance of the vegetation, the thermal waters and the breathtaking landscapes are in perfect harmony.
When you enter the Furnas Valley, you are transported to a world of dreams. The exuberant green of the trees, the diversity of flora and the constant presence of mist give the place a magical atmosphere. The walking trails take visitors on a unique journey, providing the opportunity to absorb every detail of this natural paradise.
One of the most striking features of the Furnas Valley is its bubbling hot springs and steaming geysers. Visitors can witness the fumaroles emerging from the earth, creating a surreal scene that captivates the imagination.
As well as being a natural wonder, the Furnas Valley is also known for its unique and traditional cuisine. The natural boilers found in the region are used to cook typical Azorean dishes, such as Furnas stew. This ancient technique gives the food an unparalleled flavour, making the gastronomic experience in the valley truly memorable.
Lake Furnas, serenely situated in the centre of the valley, is a mirror of water that reflects the surrounding beauty. As you walk along its banks, you are enveloped by the serenity of the place. The carefully maintained gardens, the colourful flowers and the presence of local birds create an atmosphere of contemplation.
It’s an invitation to explore, marvel and connect with nature in a way that only this Atlantic archipelago can provide.
