Furnas Magic Evening (Dinner, Tea, Fumaroles, All Included)

This is the right way to do the favorite activity of the locals, in the right order exactly as the islanders do on their own holiday evenings, especially in Winter as this experience feels even better when it's rainy and cold.

We started the evening with your pick-up, and then we had Furnas with a chance to see "Gorreana" the tea plantation, and "Pico do Ferro" viewpoint during our drive. Once in Furnas, you get to watch your dinner being pulled out of the ground at the "caldeiras". While your dinner is being prepared relax and enjoy your time at the magical hot springs.

After the bath enjoy an earthy dinner comprised of the most famous delicacy of the island - the "cozido", this way you have a smooth digestion and a great night of sleep guaranteed, as often bathing in hot waters after dinner will not be comfortable for most people. Finish your evening enjoying the enchanting geysers and "fumeroles" under the night starry sky, before our drive back to your accommodation.
