Caldeiras das Furnas

Explore the great outdoors at Caldeiras das Furnas, a lovely green space in Furnas. While in this relaxing area, you can savor the top-notch restaurants.

I love it when I find natural frames like this one, shot from inside a cave at Parque Terra Nostra in Furnas, São Miguel.

The beautiful garden is built over a massive 10 hectares and it would be quite easy to spend the best part of a day here. There are walking trails, waterfalls, and a massive amount of plants and flowers to photograph and enjoy.

Definitely one of the best photo spots on the island if you're into nature and fancy yourself as a bit of a botanist 🌿🌺
