(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Vila Franca do Campo
Step into the charm of the island’s first capital! Wander the cobbled streets of Vila Franca do Campo, a quaint coastal town where history meets flavor. Don’t miss the chance to try a freshly baked Queijada da Vila (optional), a beloved local pastry that’s been made by hand for centuries. It's a sweet bite of Azorean heritage!
Lagoa das Furnas
Experience the raw power of nature at Furnas Lake, where bubbling geothermal vents and steaming fumaroles create a truly otherworldly scene. Watch locals unearth pots of “Cozido” stew—slow-cooked for hours underground in volcanic soil. It’s not just a meal; it’s a dramatic and delicious tradition you’ll never forget.
Caldeira das Furnas
The various boilers emit vapors and the smell of sulfur content on nostrils. It is something amazing to see this true force of nature to be freed, not only in the boilers but also by land, by bubbling incessantly.
