Ponta Delgada Furnas Valley
We will travel through Ponta Delgada towards the northeast along pleasant roads bordered with Japanese Cedars, Hydrangeas and Ginger Lilies until we reach Ribeira Grande. Here in this unique North City you will find a strong feeling of the Portuguese influence.
A stop of about 20 minutes will be made for a guided visit to the city center. Then the tour will proceed to Pico do Ferro Belvedere, a look out point, which gives you panoramic view over the Furnas Valley. Descend into the Valley to explore Terra Nostra Garden.
Developed over the centuries the garden contains an extensive number of trees from all over the world, as well as, a serpentine canal, grottoes, camellias, ferns and cycas.
Following this visit we will head to Furnas Hot Springs, one of the richest hydrological areas in Europe, with 22 thermal springs.
The return to Ponta Delgada will be via Vila Franca do Campo, the former capital of the island.
