Description

Antigo Pomar das Caldeiras da Lagoa das Furnas is a historic orchard located on the shores of Lake Furnas on the island of São Miguel in the Azores.

This unique place is famous for its geothermal activity - fumaroles and hot springs that create a distinctive landscape shaped by a volcanic caldera.

Here you can observe the traditional cooking of Cozido das Furnas, a local stew of meat and vegetables, prepared in the ground at the fumaroles. This culinary tradition reflects the centuries-old way of life in the Azores and is a fascinating part of the region's cultural heritage.

avatarRamon2 months agoNot particularly great. The calderas are less spectacular than the ones in Furnas itself. Also, there is an entrance fee of 3 euro per person - not per car - which is nonsensical if you ask me. If you want to enter the "trail", an additional fee of 10 euro p.p. is required, which I find a bit odd. We chose not to do that, but walk alongside the lake to the chapel instead. That walk was nice. The little café was nice though. You can order drinks and local food that they prepare on the calderas. It is nicely located under the trees. There was a friendly cat that welcomed us. If you have an extra (half of a) day, you might as well visit this place. But it is by no means a must-see in my opinion.
avatardelia korena year agoIt's a really nice experience and worth visiting especially if you combine it with a hike in the magnificent park (trail starts behind the restaurant). I'd recommend coming after lunchtime, when it's less crowded with buses and tourists.
avatarAlessandro Da Silva3 years agoEasy parking clean toilets access to several picnic areas and to rent kayaks for 3 euros. I also highly recommend paying another 7 euros (3 for parking is discounted on the 10 Euros entry free) and hiking through the forest, seeing two waterfalls and walking in beautifully prepared and safe walking paths. It’s a small cost helping to keep an amazing place. There is even a hot tub heated by burning wood with changing areas. Walked in total 85 minutes. Loved it !
