Hiking

Lagoa das Furnas is one of the main attractions of São Miguel Island. It is a volcanic lagoon surrounded by vegetation and geothermal activity, famous for traditional stews made underground. It also houses the Chapel of Nossa Senhora das Vitórias and the Furnas Monitoring and Research Center (CMIF), dedicated to ecological recovery and environmental education.

Hiking

Very beautiful lake well known for its hot springs, Caldeiras. Come and discover the local dish: Cozido das Furnas.

Hiking

If you just want to walk around the lake, you should do so in a clockwise direction. Then you also pass the Caldeiras, but you don't have to pay the three euro entrance fee that is due from the direction of Furnas.
If you also visit the waterfall park, the direction doesn't matter, as the three euros are counted towards the entrance fee for the park (€10).
