Be prepared for most typical Azorean experience. Two in one, typical food & thermal pools. One of the great experience on the island is the thermal pools, you don't want to miss them. At night is when the place is more quiet, the air temperature is more adequate and the atmosphere is magical. I want to take you to the one most iconing thermal pools from the island, Poça da Beija. This experience will start in the end of the day until around midnight, be prepared for the best evening of your trip. So far seems good, there is more, before the thermal pools we will visit where locals cook the famous "cozido"(stew) using the heat from the volcano and this is what you gonna get for your dinner. On the top of all that you can have a cup of local tea made in one of the natural hot springs before we return home, all this surounded with a mysterious atmosphere created with the steam coming from the boilers of valley of Furnas. For better understanding you have to come... Starting from Ponta Delgada at 18h00-18:30 pm. Pick up at any place situated inside the city of Ponta Delgada.

We will go up the tallest volcano of the island, only accessible by car, so tall you will watch the vegetation get drier as we go up. On the top you have the best view over its stunning caldera and lake waters. We will be standing really high, so as clear the sky, clearer will be the view. On our way down the north slope, you will have a access to the most tropical thermal pool in the island (ticket included). Warm water, waterfall and luxurious green vegetation. Spend time here and bathe, it´s an unique experience! Afterwards we will find the beautiful "Cabrito Waterfall" and the tea plantation on the bottom of the north slope. You can taste the most amazing Azorean tea, traditionally crafted while overlooking the green lines of tea overlooking the ocean.
