Interior of the island, mountainside

Serra Tronqueira

Hedges of Hortensia found everywhere

Lagoa do Fogo

Roughly described the island consists of two parts: rather charming in the west, mountaineous and rough the east. Everywhere you find traces of the volcanic origin, crater lakes, hot wells and in some places hot sulphuric smoke comes out of the earth. A real must is a bath in thermal swimming pool of the Terra Nostra Park in Furnas. Yellow water of a 100 F that relieved us of our chronic back pain. Surrounded by exotic plants in a singular setting.
