Volcanic craters filled with lakes, tea fields above the sea, and a valley where lunch is cooked in the ground by the heat of the volcano.
The day

Sete Cidades
A huge crater with a blue lake and a green lake side by side, seen from the Vista do Rei viewpoint on the rim.

Lagoa do Fogo
A crater lake high in the middle of the island, with no road down to it and nothing built around it.

Furnas, and lunch
Hot springs and steaming fumaroles, and cozido — a stew slow-cooked for hours in pots buried in the volcanic ground.
Lunch not included
13:30
Terra Nostra
A garden around a thermal pool the colour of iron, warm enough to swim in all year.
Entrance not included
