Where are the Azores?
Furnas full day tour
Being the home of the lake and parish of Furnas, the valley of Furnas has a typical smell of sulfur, the boiling, smoking hot springs being a secondary evidence of volcanic activity.
The thermal pool in Furnas is muddy brown, due to the iron in the water and might color your nails in orange, but for a different curative experience we think you should take a Furnas full day tour sometime in the near future.
