Great thermal pool experience. Run very professionally. I would recommend buying tickets in advance and showing up a few minutes early, as the parking is limited. Entry is done for 1.5 hours at a time and is pre-ticketed. The pools themselves are very nice, clean and hot. The ticketing limits the number of visitors so it is not overrun with folks and you can always be in a pool. They are all the same temp, but vary in depth.

This is a fabulous natural spa located in the beautiful village of furnace well worth a visit. Don’t forget to wear dark coloured swimwear and take a towel. You will need a €1 coin if you want a hot shower afterwards. You also need to buy the tickets in advance which you could do at the front gate when we were there. They advise that the best time of day to come is about 8 pm you have 90 minutes when you’re in

This was a really cool spot- nestled in the trees. There are nice facilities, changing rooms, bathrooms and lockers for rent. The pools are all 39 degrees Celsius is various depths. There are cool showers to rinse off and a cute but rather expensive gift shop. Your ticket gets you 1.5 window to be in the baths. If you don’t love crowds, earlier is probably better though I suspect it is quite cool at night- definitely worth the trip.

Rating: Recommend. This place exceeded expectations. We went at 8 PM on a Saturday in May, so we got the vibe with the sun up, sun setting, and night. Despite there being a fair amount of people (they regulate well)—and my propensity for being easily annoyed—this experience was enjoyable and relaxing. The four pools are surrounded by lush greenery, the water is a comfortable temperate, and the establishment is well cared for and clean. I wish I had the time to return. Don’t forget to drink lots of waters and take breaks outside the arm water.

This is a very nice hydrothermal bath on the eastern side of São Miguel island. Firstly, it’s clean and in very good condition. Secondly, you must book your tickets online, in advance. You pick a time and get 1.5h. You can rent a locker for €2 and deposit (car keys or €20). The grounds are pretty and feel tropical. All the different bathing areas are the same temperature, just different depths. I found it to be quite relaxing. There are pretty view points on the way too.

Amazing place, very well organised inside. But! Parking is full and you won't be let in under the roof when it rains out. Please improve your service, it feels like you are pissed off even before entering.

This is so worth it! One of the most peaceful relaxing and beautiful spots. Definitely purchase tickets ahead of time online, but if you’re in the Furnas area, you must go! Make sure to bring a bathing suit you don’t care about, and bring toiletries if you want to shower after (you can take a hot shower in the wash room for one euro). This is a blissful oasis.

Very bad experience at Terra Nostra. Almost €35 for two people for such mediocre services—I've never seen anything like it anywhere else. We arrived in the early afternoon after ordering two “1-day” tickets online. Why can't you buy tickets for just half a day? Then we took a tour of the park, which is indeed magnificent. We decided to finish with the baths. That's when our afternoon turned into a real disappointment (we had driven almost an hour for this...). It was impossible to unlock the lockers in the changing rooms, if you can call them that, as there were no cubicles or privacy, so you had to change in front of everyone. We tried for a long time with our two phones. We decided to give up so we could still have time to bathe, leaving our belongings to one side, and then, surprise... we were told that the park was closing at 4:30 p.m. Why wasn't this mentioned in the reservation summary email or on the tickets? So we weren't able to enjoy the baths. In conclusion, give this place a miss. They try to be fancy, but the quality of service doesn't match. There are other baths that are much cheaper, much prettier, and have longer opening hours, such as Caldeira Velha, which we went to the next day and which are much more worthwhile.

Botanical lush gardens and amazing iron rich hot pools. We luckily arrived early to enjoy the hot pools. It was a magical experience. Everything was heavenly apart from the locker awful system they have that costs 5€ and depends on your phone being sufficiently charged:-( the changing rooms were not comfortable and the shower was cold which was odd considering the high temperatures of the hotspring pools. That said, I would clearly recommend and come back.

The garden is layed up very smart in different sections with themes. Views, atmosphere and the feeling in park is great. Remember to reserve enough time as the park is not small and to see all some distance needs to be walked. Additional time is needed for the thermal bath that is included in the entrance fee. The one central pool is just ca. 1 m deep. Water temperature is pleasant around 35 C degrees. Lockers for clothes cost 5€ extra and the reservation/payment system is a catastrophe.

Beautiful place with nice thermal pools and a lush garden of exotic species. If you book tickets in advance and come to the park having already put your swimsuit on (and swimming shoes), you will save extra time as you won't need to go through the changing rooms. You can get changed and store your stuff under one of the benches surrounding the main pool. Don't forget to take a shower before and after bathing. The little pools near the main pool are smaller but cozier, with the water being much warmer. I would recommend those over the main pool. Don't forget to take a small bag to store your wet swimsuit and towel. The park has all the necessary amenities, such as showers, toilets and lockers. After the bath, you can stroll around the park. I would recommend taking a picture of the map at the entrance so that you can follow it closely when visiting the gardens and not miss anything. Enjoy!

October low season was a perfect time to visit, with plenty of room in the thermal pools. We didn't find the main thermal pool to be that warm, and opted to use the smaller pools, which was significantly warmer. The overall park was truly a sight. I'm sure even more beautiful in the summer months, when the flowers are in bloom. Parking: There is no parking past the gate. Find free parking on the streets. Fees: Entry fee and locker fee. Change Room + Locker: 5 Euro for the QR activated lockers. I was worried after reading all of the reviews of people having so much trouble with paying online. I had data service, so I had no issues paying online and receiving my locker code. You need your phone with you to open and close the locker. So you'll have to keep an eye on your belongings when you go to the pools. I watched as a group of girls attempted to pick-pocket my jacket that was hanging with my towel. There are also no private change rooms in the women's locker. There is a shower area and toilet stalls (where people ended up changing in).

Beautiful botanical gardens, not busy when we were there in November. Pools we're ok, big pool wasn't as hot as I'd like and the hot outlet is the busy soot. good change rooms.

The park is beautiful and an easy walk. We got to swim in the pool and it was amazing. The water was warm and the bottom of the pool is smooth and clean, so shoes weren’t necessary. There is a locker/changing room but it’s all open unless you go to the other side and change in the bathroom stalls. There’s a little food trailer in the park that has some killers pastéis de bacalhau for 4,50€.

Fantastic stop on the way to Furnas. I think it might be best to see this before you go into Furnas for some history. The displays are first class explaining how the islands were formed. There are display about the flora, animals and life around the volcano. The staff is outstanding. We were shown around by the desk attendant and she ensured the movie was set up for us. It was well worth it. Watch the movie! We also had a complimentary tea when we had finished. There is a parking lot next to the museum but you can also park just off the main road and walk in which is my suggestion. The improved walkway goes by the lake, the gardens and the church. It takes about 12 minutes to walk each way.

This center is worth the tour (fee) to learn about the geological history of the Azores, and then the more specific history and current state of this Caldera. Our tour guide was superb. His English skills were fluent and he was able to effectively and passionately explain the project to improve the water quality of the lake. There is a number of exhibits as well as several videos. I would highly recommend this before you go to the city of Furnas to give you some context The interpretation center has restrooms and is roughly 1 km from the parking area along a pretty cobblestone road that has very little traffic

Small science museum explaining the formation of the Azores and volcanism. We only had 25 minutes before a booking at the Furnas thermal baths so missed one of the films in n show. The lady on the front desk was super helpful and said we could come back the following day for free. Fantastic service and a beautiful building in amazing scenery.

Don’t hesitate to jump in. For a fee of just 3€, that fund the works and research about cleaning activities of the lagoons water, you get a very nice exposition about the geology of the location, with a guide that will highlight you the most important points about the place. It includes geologic history and human history about the island occupation and Furnas village in particular. Do visit the center before go to Furnas village, so you will better understand what you will see there. You even get a free hand made drink at the end. Staff is great and the information you receive there very valuable.

Our group was so impressed with this center. The staff was so helpful and informative and helped us to understand this precious area and island!

We weren’t planning on stopping here, but did and it was totally worth it! The centre is cery interesting and has very informative exhibits. Well done to the staff for being the nicest and kindest people. I have never met anyone doing similar jobs being that excited and helpful! 👏

Such a cool place to learn about Furnas and the island of São Miguel! Well worth the 3€ entrance. The people working there were so knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and appreciated the free tea at the end and the workers answering all our questions and sharing their knowledge about their land

Amazing Views and plants with flowers at Pico do Ferro! 🌺🌸 I visited Miradouro do Pico do Ferro on May 20th, and wow, what a view! If you're on São Miguel, you really have to go here. From up high, you get to see so much. When I was there, the rhododendrons were beautiful, bursting with color and making the whole place look even prettier. But the best part is definitely the awesome view of Furnas Lake way down below. It's so peaceful and just stretches out wonderfully. This spot isn't just pretty; it's also super important! The whole area, especially the Furnas volcano crater, is a very important part of the Azores UNESCO Global Geopark. So, you're not just seeing a nice view, you're standing in a special place recognized worldwide for its nature. It's a must-see for everyone!

One of the most beautiful viewpoints on the entire island. Access is very easy by car, you can park below or go up to the viewpoint. You can see the people, the forest and the nearby towns. There is a souvenir shop in the parking lot below. Up at the viewpoint there are some benches for viewing the view and some benches. There are no toilets.

Amazing view on the Furnas lake and the sorounding valley. Parking is free of charge, and the viewpoint is worth visiting.

Beautiful lookout over the town of Furnas and lakes of Furnas. We parked in the lower parking lot. It is a short walk up to the lookout. No need to really drive up unless you have mobility concerns. Several look out spots. It is truly breath taking! Must see and must stop.

Beautiful viewpoint with cute little souvenir shop. Steep incline but short walk up from parking lot.

Amazing views if you pick a day without cloud

This is one of the bigger and more interesting viewpoints from where you have a beautiful view of Furnas Lake and the surrounding area. There are two parking lots, but it is forbidden to enter one. The whole place looks renovated and well maintained.

Easy and quick walk to the waterfall which is very pristine. I wish I brought my bikinis for a dip. There are many hens on the trail and they sometimes follow us along. You can walk in and out on the same route but I'd recommend doing the loop following the sign that says Bar & WC which is a great place for some refreshments, homemade bakes, and a lovely view of the valley.

The trail is a bit demanding, but manageable for most people. Trekking shoes are recommended as it can get muddy in some parts. At the end, you reach a beautiful waterfall where you can even take a refreshing swim. A great experience overall!

OAP, dodgy knees, and walked in trainers. What a wonderful way to spend a few hours hiking this trail. From the bird song, the smell of the Himalyan ginger to the magical waterfall it was bliss. Yes, a bit muddy in places and a few slips and slides but nothing to scary. Not sure if there was as much water though.

Difficult to find. Don't rely on Google maps. Go the the village, pass the bus stop to the bottom and park. This was our favorite trail. Definitely should wear hiking shoes or sneakers. Beautiful waterfall.

Very easy hike, aprox. 2 kilometers in one direction, it takes 30 - 45 minutes in one direction. You can park the car at the end of the village, before the trail starts. At the end of the hike there is a beautiful waterfall, you can also go in the water at the waterfall. Please don't wear sandals for the hike, there are rocks, dirt and some parts are slippery. I would recommend hiking shoes. The hike is suitable also for people who are not tge most experienced hikers. Also I saw many hens and roosters on the hike, they are not afraid of the people. You walk on the same path, when you go to the waterfall, and back to the village. It is not a round hike, with different paths.

Great hike, just over three miles if you make it a loop through the ghost village (and you should!). The trail is in good condition, and has some elevation

Cascata do Salto do Prego is one of the highlights to visit on the island. A wonderful waterfall and a beautiful, comfortable hike to it. We parked at Trilho do Sanguinho. There is small parking lot and some street parking here. The waterfall is well signed post and the trail well marked. The hike is somewhat strenuous but very manageable if in good health and mobility. Keep an eye and ear out for the wild chicken. Very fun to come across chickens on the trail! Once at the waterfall, take it all in. You can swim in the water around it. Mostly pebbles and some sand. Can do it barefoot. On the way back, we went via the abandoned village of Sanguinho. Great hike back, with a bar to stop at (in the abandoned village) for refreshments and to take in the views! Round trip can easily be done in a couple hours. Well worth it and highly recommended!

6 ⭐s! One would say the most expensive (5€) hike to a random waterfall, I'd say the cheapest ticket to the most serene corner of the island. At 10am two kids and I were the only tourists (and humans) in the park. Yes, in the middle of July 😳. Sequoia trees, magnificent waterfall, birds, a cow or two and above all peace. One of the highlights of our trip

A lovely place located in a small park. There is parking nearby, and after a short walk you can reach this beautiful spot with a charming chapel and great views.

Too beautiful and exotic to miss. With a chapel, lake, waterfall, and numerous paths leading into a dense forest of palm trees and redwoods, you'll experience a jungle adventure from another continent. An incredible piece of greenery on the island!

Here you get the whole package for 5 €, although some experiences are priceless. A very large area with paths and signs showing the way to the waterfall, surrounded by unspoiled nature. However, there is much more to explore in this area.

Very underrated. We didn't know about the place when we went to see the lake but we passed by and figured we have a look and we were very pleasantly surprised. The garden is quite large and contains multiple attractions. Super recommended if you plan to visit this side of the island.

The waterfall is really beautiful – but the rest of the experience was not great. We were told the park closes at 6:00 PM, so we returned to the gate at 5:45 PM. But there was no one there and we were locked in. To make it worse, it was pouring rain. We were completely soaked and had no way out. Luckily, we had picked up a flyer for the chapel with a phone number on it. We called and were told someone would come. It took 30 minutes standing in heavy rain before anyone showed up. When they finally arrived, we only got a vague excuse and a half-hearted apology. No real help, no concern. We were dripping wet and very disappointed. The waterfall is nice – but getting locked in during heavy rain and being treated like that really ruined the visit.

A combined park of a few smaller areas. You have to pay for a ticket to see Salto do Rosal too as it’s a part of the gardens. Really beautiful and calm too. Not many people come in and you have most of the place to yourself completely. A great way to experience the Azores nature. Beautiful tree ferns, sequoias, flowers and plants all around. A must see!

Super fun, small museum about micro-organisms! Admission is €2.50 for adults, €1.50 for seniors and students, and free for people with disabilities. Payment is cash only. Despite my background in studying micro-organisms, I still learned some new things. The museum is interesting for both adults and children. There are all sorts of interactive features, such as a VR headset that lets you explore the inside of a bacterium, and various touchscreens and iPads with fun information and games. We spent about half an hour to forty-five minutes there and really read and tried everything. If you move through a bit faster, you’ll probably be done sooner. At the end, I bought a cool bag with the text: “You can’t B.cereus!” – highly recommended! The staff were also very friendly. They even prepared a new microscope slide just for us, so we could get an even better look at the bacteria!

Intriguing place! I really like that this place is very well preserved. There's a nice park around where you can enjoy ice cream while watching the water boiling. Occasionally a bit smelly but still very cool place!

Small science research center which has a lot of information on bacteria and micro organisms that live in the hot springs. Cost €1.50 per adult to go into the science centre. We had a guided tour from one of the researchers for free which was fascinating and then got to have a look around the rest of the exhibit. It's only small but really interesting and the guide was very engaging. Definitely worth the €1.50 go inside.

Great stop to see natural hot springs in action. The museum was closed when we were there but a walk around the springs which are free to tour, are worth the stop.

Unbelievable experience. Seeing nature and beauty. Mineral waters throughout and even a little snack place with corn on the cob that is boiled in the waters.

We accidentally entered and found a wonderful employee who directed us to everything we could see, and also told us a lot of useful information about the place and the surrounding area. The material on display is interesting for the whole family.

A little information centre, great for kids and adults alike with helpful staff eager to educate and entertain you with stories about the microbial world in your body and its links to primordial prehistory.

Beautiful church. Never open while passing by…

One of the oldest churches on Sao Miguel Island.

Peace , Joy, faith

I love my church💝

Beautiful

(Translated by Google) From the outside it is very easy, like virtually every church in the Azores, but inside the lighting gives an incredible aura. Unfortunately, I don't know what time mass is. Praise the Lord! It was empty inside, I didn't see any MacBooks or iPhones. (Original) Od zewnątrz bardzo łatwy, jak praktycznie każdy kościół na Azorach, a w środku oświetlenie daje niebywałą aurę. Niestety nie wiem o której są mszę. Chwała Panu! W środku było pusto, nie widziałem żadnych MacBooków ani iPhonów.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful church in very good condition. Every time I go there it's just me and Sainte-Anne inside, a real privilege 😀.

Very helpful. Explained where to catch the bus to Provocao as not all local bus stops are in service.

No enthusiasm or empathy

(Translated by Google) Excellent service, welcoming staff. Suggestions for things to do near Furnas, but also elsewhere on the island. The activities offered took my interests into account. The recommendations also allow you to make the most of the beauties of the island and the specificities of its nature! Cidalia is very patient and offers very courteous service in English and even French. Well done to the whole team. (Original) Excellent service, personnel accueillant.

Cidalia es très patiente et offre un service très courtois en anglais et même en français. Bravo à toute l’équipe.

(Translated by Google) A woman attended to us. It was correct. I got the impression that with so many tourists and always repeating the same thing, he had to make a great effort to serve us. Which I thank you very much. Cheer up, colleague, I have been facing the public for 25 years and I know very well what that is.... (Original) Nos atendió una mujer. Fue correcta. Me dio la impresión de que con tanto turista y repitiendo siempre lo mismo tuvo que hacer un gran esfuerzo por atendernos. Lo cual le agradezco mucho. Ánimo, compañera, yo llevo 25 años de cara al público y sé muy bien lo que es eso ....

(Translated by Google) We were lucky, there was a lady who spoke French. As we were alone, she took the time to explain to us, really pleasant. We went there again another day, it was the first time I attended this, there was tasting of specialties on the island. Then we were given tea samples..... (Original) Nous avons eu de la chance , il y avait une dame qui parlait Français. Comme , nous étions seul , elle a pris le temps de nous expliquer, vraiment agréable.

(Translated by Google) Thank you very much for your kindness and attention, it is a pleasure to find these information points where they advise the best places. Furnas is a true wonder and all the places we visited left us speechless, as if it were an Eden on earth. Many thanks to all the people of Furnas for your kindness. I love Portugal. (Original) Muito obrigado pela gentileza e atenção, é um prazer encontrar esses pontos de informação onde eles aconselham os melhores lugares.

Eu amo Portugal.

Easter Mass here was wonderful! Devout Catholics, the people of the Azores are kind and welcoming.

Mass Times

Think it’s the only church on the island with two towers.

Picturesque place

(Translated by Google) A very nice church, larger than others I have seen on the island. Inside, I was enchanted by the room with the baptismal font, confessionals built into the wall and stained glass windows. Praise the Lord! On Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, holy mass at 6:00 p.m., on Sunday at 12:30. I didn't see anyone inside with a MacBook or iPhone. (Original) Bardzo ładny kościół, większy niż inne które widziałem na wyspie. W środku urzekł mnie pokój z chrzcielnicą, konfesjonały wbudowane w ścianę oraz witraże. Chwała Panu! W poniedziałki, środy i czwartki msza święta o 18:00, w niedzielę o 12:30. W środku nie widziałem nikogo z MacBookiem ani iPhonem.

(Translated by Google) Attention Spaniards 🇪🇸👇🏻 ✅ Positive aspects: It's right in the center of Furnas and is one of those churches that, without being very touristy, is well worth a stop. It has a white facade with dark stone details that make it very photogenic, and inside it's much larger than it appears from the outside. It's very peaceful, with beautiful stained-glass windows and hidden corners like the baptismal area or the confessionals embedded in the wall. If you're around the lake or strolling through the center, this is a stop that adds a lot to your visit. ❌ Negative aspects: It's not always open, so you may only see it from the outside. Also, it's not very well signposted, so if you don't go looking for it, you might not even realize it's there. 🌐 Overall rating: A very beautiful church that adds a unique touch to your walk through Furnas. It doesn't take long to see and is worth stopping for a few minutes if you're in the area. (Original) Atención españoles 🇪🇸👇🏻 ✅ Aspectos positivos: Está justo en el centro de Furnas y es de esas iglesias que, sin ser muy turísticas, merece mucho la pena parar a verla. Tiene una fachada blanca con detalles en piedra oscura que la hace muy fotogénica, y por dentro es bastante más grande de lo que parece desde fuera. Es muy tranquila, con vidrieras muy bonitas y rincones como la zona del bautismo o los confesionarios metidos en la pared. Si estás por la zona del lago o paseando por el centro, es una parada que suma mucho a la visita. ❌ Aspectos negativos: No siempre está abierta, así que puede tocarte verla solo por fuera. Además, no está muy señalizada, así que si no vas buscándola, puede que ni te des cuenta de que está ahí. 🌐 Valoración global: Una iglesia muy bonita y que aporta ese punto diferente a tu paseo por Furnas. No se tarda nada en verla y merece la pena parar unos minutos si estás por la zona.

(Translated by Google) There are many churches on the island. There's a beautiful view from the surrounding area. It's also worth visiting the park, which lies about 300 meters away, down the street behind the bus parking lot. (Original) kościół jakich dużo na wyspie jest. rozpościera się piękny widok z jego okolic, warto też odwiedzić park który leży ok 300 metrów dalej. w dół ulicy za parkingiem dla busów.

It's a small house, but it's inverted and that's all

Interesting building hosting an electric transformer

Interesting idea of an inverted house, but nothing special.

It's actually a substation but bravo for the interesting architecture! It's located among other houses and there are cars parked in front of it. If you are in the neighborhood, definitely check it out. Otherwise doesn't worth the effort.

Super fun. You must stop and take the same cheesy picture as the rest of the tourists.

The idea is brilliant!

Great looking bizzare house that really strikes your eyes as you wander nearby. It is especially interesting to walk tight under the house as you feel the weight of the material above your head. Looks even better from a distance than close-up! Would definitely recommend to visit.

A cute little zoo. No admission fee. We were there for less than 15 minutes but it was nice there (-:

This is one of the most disgraceful places I have ever experienced!!!!In an Island who prides itself with fantastic nature both on land and sea, to this sad piece of so called zoo which is in reality a concrete prison in the worst sense.This place MUST be closed down.Unfortunatly I didnt take any photos to document this.If anybody is close by then please take some photos and get this place closed down.

This was once a time a little zoo, with cared animals that could been fed by visitors… unfortunately, this place was closed down in 2019, and theres no plans for reopening

Appalling place. We only happened on the zoo in Povoacao after a stop at the town's main square for a quick lunch break. This is a free entry small town park with a few aviaries that drew us in with a macaw in a fairly generous cage. However at the back of the park, things took a very sinister turn with one lone baboon in a small concrete enclosure and two vervet monkeys in a similar cage. These animals had no enrichment other than being hand fed through the bars by visitors, they also had very little shelter. I am appalled by the Portuguese authorities for allowing this place to exist and keep animals in such a way in the 21st century. There was absolutely no access to anything organic to climb or interact with. It would be kinder to euthanise these monkeys than allow them to end their days without any hope of seeing anything even resembling the natural world ever again. They are effectively serving out a life sentence, having committed no crime, with no chance of parole. The island of Sao Miguel is a lovely place with a stunning natural beauty but for me this one "attraction" has severely tarnished my experience. Animal cruelty in this day and age should not be tolerated and I can not see how this amounts to anything else.

Beautiful garden but the way they lock up animals is outdated: this is the 21st century, c'mon.

It is a small zoo with few animals only. But looks well maintained.

Very sad give the monkey a toy or a hanging tire to swing from this isn't the 18th century people care now... and that monkey was unhappy.

Fantastic Panoramic View. Overlooking Furnas, caldera rim, all the way to the ocean. Must have personal transportation.

Breathtaking views down on the town of Furnas and the Lagoa das Furnas. A must see stop if travelling through the interior of the island. Small parking lot but plenty of room as people come and go for the view, and a 15 second walk to the lookout of the lake and town of Furnas. Stunning.

Great view over Furnas and Vila da Povoação. Great view of the south and north cost of S. Miguel and to see how the weather can be so different just a few kms away

Amazing views of both Povoação and Furnas. The roads to this lookout are narrow and winding, with the road coming from EN 2-1A being well paved, but the back road down into Povoação (M1042 & M525) is in pretty tough shape with many pot holes and loose gravel. Worth every white-knuckled moment though. I highly recommend renting a car or motorcycle if you are so inclined and making this trip. We went in the morning and the visibility was excellent.

Amazing view. Careful of the fog it tends to get really foggy and it can ruin the view entirely.

We went here two times and it never disappoints, especially during sunset it was magical

Managed to get amazing views there but be aware, fog can easily block evedything. Ifthe sky is clear the view is amazing
