Things To Do
Furnas Caldeiras (Volcanoes)
This is an amazing place for a hike and coffee or as Nick's favorite, " Ice cream" You can also come early in the morning with a pot filled with food and have it cooked under the earth.
Sete Cidades
You can hike here or drive up to see the view or down to the beautiful lakes to eat some lunch or have a picnic.
Praia dos Moinhos
This is one of my favorite beaches here on the island.
Mosteiros Beach
This is on the left side of the island and such a worthy one- hour trip! The beaches here are gorgeous and the food is to die for.
Poça da Dona Beija
Thermal baths- so relaxing!
Lagoa do Fogo
You can hike this or drive down. This is called fire lake!
Caloura, Agua de Pau
These are salt water pools and you can also jump into the ocean! There is such a good restaurant right next to it!
Ribeira Quente - Praia
This water is under a volcano, dig your heels deep enough under water and you will burn your foot ( a bit). Such warm water and sand!
Piscinas Naturais "Caneiros"
This is breathtaking! You can jump right into these water- formed salt pools! There is also an amazing food truck above that has the best snacks sandwiches and of course, espresso!
Parque Terra Nostra
Thermal baths! Bring an old bikini for this one!
Ilhéu de Vila Franca do Campo
The lightest clearest waters! Kayak around it and park your kayak inside while you take a swim or pack a lunch and take the ferry! Reserve your tickets in advance (:
Ribeira das Tainhas
This beach has limited parking and a few stairs down to the beach so come early. The water here is a dream and there is a rock you can jump off of.
Furnas Lake
This is my go to running/walking spot, around this beautiful lake, however there is a separate trail you can go up to see the view from above ( Parque Grena). There are also little paddleboats to rent out to explore the lake- you can not swim here. You can also find the caldeiras here beside the lake.
Parque da Grená " Pico de Ferro"
This is a challenge! Lots of steps but so worth the view..
Caldeiras
Explore more Caldeiras ( little volcanoes, hot springs), get some sweet corn and explore restaurants in this dream area o, Furnas.
