WHAT YOU VISIT
Fire Lake, Caldeira Velha & Tea Plantation
Embrace this nature, loving oasis of exotic beauty with a tour along the island's north and south coasts. From the pier, you'll travel past the picturesque little villages perched near the southern coast up to Fire Lake, a beautiful green crater that's known locally as Lagoa do Fogo, an ideal spot to soak up the serene landscape. Your second stop is Caldeira Velha Hot Springs, a nature reserve with thermal pools and waterfall. The tour continues along the northern coast to the Gorreana Tea Factory, founded in 1883. Learn the process of tea production with a tour of the museum.

While visiting the Gorreana Tea Factory, you'll treated to a cup of cha tea and a slice of homemade pineapple cake.
