What travelers are saying
- FredDeManVolgograd, Russia48 contributionsThe main attraction of this park is the large hot pool it contains. It isn't very hot but, because of its size, it doesn't feel crowded.
Furnas is a navigation nightmare and finding parking is not trivial. Also the park closes early (1630 at this time of year).
The changing rooms are being rebuilt, and the temporary changing rooms and toilets are completely inadequate. Probably unworkable at the busier times of year.Written March 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It costs more to get in than the website says (no website in Sao Miguel is up to date!) but there are change rooms and toilets, as well as paid showers.
The pools are all the same temperature, but different depths, so probably choose the emptiest.
The baths seem to be used more by locals, so expect it to be busy after work and weekends. There is a small parking lor. If it's full, good luck!Written March 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Definitely a must see attraction. It beware they do stink.Written March 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Natalia N3 contributionsVery, very interesting place! Sleek building with interactive/education exhibits. They are doing amazing work here, helping to restore the landscape and informing visitors about the local geothermal, aquatic, biological, botanical, and cultural wonders. Great place, worth the tiny fee that goes directly to support the work they do. Extremely helpful and knowledgeable staff as well. Must visit!Written February 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- catandgazSuffolk, UK60 contributionsReally loved it here. Yes, you have to pay €10pp but we had 3hours here exploring, including a great dip in waterfall #4.
Beautifully looked after, lots of lovely sit points and view points. Enough of a hike up to the top waterfall and view point to get the heart rate up and legs burning.
Much better than a walk around the lake, so worth every penny in my opinion.Written October 26, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Offers a pleasant stroll and ability to explore collections such as the native Azorean garden and valley of ferns.Written July 11, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AlbertoCoimbraRio de Janeiro, RJ241 contributionsThere was an exposition of algae and the microbes of the place. We were very well received and the explanations were complete.

- Louis FAltus, OK1,025 contributionsReally cool church that isn't as old as it looks. You also have to pay to get into the botanical gardens that it is a part of, however you can easily see it from outside the fence and we didn't feel like we missed all that much by not going in.Written May 7, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- podrozniczka60New Jersey14,840 contributionsThe church of Santa Ana is sometimes known as the Old Church. It was build in 18th century. It has very beautiful look typical for many Azorian churches.
It is worth a short visit.Written August 29, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
