Optional 1 hour hike along the Furnas Lake Trail.

If a volcanic stew 'Cozido' is your lunch preference, this is the place to see it being slow cooked in a volcanic vent for 6 hours.

When it Furnas, why not take a dip in the volcanic hot springs, and let those healing waters work their magic! Definitely one of the highlights of this region. Following your swim, you'll be given the opportunity to stroll around the 14 hectare botanical gardens, before heading off to lunch.

A 3 course lunch including São Jorge cheese and the traditional volcanic 'Cozido': (A traditional Portuguese dish composed of various meats (for example: bacon, ribs, chicken, chouriço and morcela; a Portuguese blood sausage) and vegetables (cabbage, potatoes, carrots, taro and sweet potato. All the ingredients are buried in a volcanic vent and slow cooked for 6 hours) it's yummy! *Other menu options are also available*

A visit to this bubbling and steaming area is not to be missed; especially when you are given the chance to sample some of the natural mineral waters that flows directly from the springs of this region into the town for your consumption.

Teas anyone? Cha Gorreana is one of only 2 tea plantations in the whole of Europe. So as we are passing, let's pop in for a cuppa!
