In addition to this, you can admire the Caldeiras das Furnas, multiple boiling water and mud springs and mini-geysers.

What people are saying about Poça da Dona Beija

This was an absolutely awesome tour! You start by hearing lots of facts as you travel to Furnas, then there’s a beautiful view point, a big dinner with stew and wine, then a trip to the springs (which were great) and a magical walk around Furnas in the dark, seeing the steam come out from the ground. Eduardo was a really knowledgeable and friendly guide - thank you!

Had a wonderful experience with Hugo, our guide. He was very knowledgeable and I enjoyed the short stops he made along the one hour drive to the thermal springs. He was engaging and shared a lot of little tid bits. The thermal springs we went to was enjoyable and we had 1.5hours of relaxation. I would love to go back again.

We had such a great time last night on the tour. Hugo was a wonderful host, full of local knowledge and stories. We can't even tell you which of the activities were the best because each one was a wonderful experience. Certainly well worth the money! Thank you for putting together such a rich experience.

Amazing!!! Our guide Hugo was absolutely amazing and so knowledgeable. The food was also great but make sure you’re hungry! Highly recommend. We had to confirm our pick up time and the help chat were very helpful and quick

Great experience, good food, relaxing baths. Eduardo was an excellent guide.
