Furnas
Furnas are well known for their thermal waters, namely the boilers, Poça da Beija and thermal pools. Furnas are also known for the Hotel Terra Nostra, consisting of a natural swimming pool of thermal waters and a magnificent botanical garden, the Parque Terra Nostra and you can also visit the natural park where you can find some animals and some species of plants. Furnas is also home to a lagoon, Lagoa das Furnas.
Cakes Levedos and the curious stew are also traditional in Furnas, where the ingredients are cooked underground under the heat of the volcanoes (the meat takes about 5 to 6 hours and the cod fish around 3 to 4 hours). This fact highlights an exquisite taste.
This location has one of the largest and most diverse botanical collections in the archipelago.
