Miradouro de Santa Iria
This viewpoint, located across from the Bay of Santa Iria on the north coast of São Miguel, offers sweeping views of the coastline and the charming town of Porto Formoso, near Ribeira Grande. The landscape is lush and vibrant, with greenery stretching all the way to where it meets the sparkling sea, creating a truly picturesque and serene setting.
Plantacoes de Cha Gorreana
Tea has a rich history dating back to China, with its European roots reaching the 17th century. The oldest tea plantation in Europe, operating since 1883, is located on São Miguel Island. The tea plant, Camellia sinensis, used to produce both green and black tea, was introduced to the island in 1750 by ships returning from the East, marking the beginning of the region's deep connection with tea cultivation.
Caldeira das Furnas
Caldeiras das Furnas is undoubtedly one of the most popular destinations in the Azorean archipelago, largely due to the remarkable volcanic activity found in the area. The region is home to sulfuric muds and a wide variety of water sources, ranging from hot to temperate, cold, and even gasified, all bubbling up from the rocks. These natural phenomena provide visitors with a unique and awe-inspiring display of Mother Nature's raw power and energy.
Parque Terra Nostra
Terra Nostra Park in Furnas is a lush botanical garden, famous for its thermal pool and rich collection of Azorean and exotic plants. A perfect spot to relax and explore nature's beauty. (Entrance optional on the tour)
