Drive through Ponta Delgada along pleasant roads bordering agricultural areas, stretching across the island along the north coast stopping at Santa Iria Viewpoint followed by a tea factory to taste the tea. Once in the village of Furnas, visit Terra Nostra Garden, a luxuriant garden where the color of the flowers mixes with the exuberant vegetation originating from diverse continents. Next, visit the big phenomenon of the island, the hot springs. This is an area with diverse forms of volcanic activity with fumaroles spouting boiling water and medicinal mud - one of the most spectacular being Caldeira de Pero Botelho. Pass by Furnas Lake, with the Gothic profile of the Chapel Nossa Senhora das Vitorias reflected on its clear waters. Return to Ponta Delgada along the southern coast passing by Vila Franca do Campo, the former capital of the island.
