After our whale watching tour, we took the tour to Furnas and the Terra Nostra Botanic Gardens. Our guide, Sona, was very knowledgable and shared a lot of information about the areas we drove through, the Furnas area and the Terra Nostra Gardens.
We had a typical Furnas lunch that was cooked in a fumerole near the little restaurant before we proceeded to the gardens. Sona lead us around the gardens telling us the history of the place and showing us the wide diversity of plantings there. We then changed and went into the hot springs pool for a relaxing soak.
After we dressed, Sona showed us the fumeroles and then we stopped by the local lake and she told us the history of the gothic church by the lake. It was a great afternoon.
