🇵🇹 Experience Geothermal Wonders Up Close!

Jardim Público da Courela is a public garden situated in Furnas, a quaint town in the southeastern part of São Miguel Island in the Azores, Portugal. Renowned for its geothermal activity, the park features numerous fumaroles—vents in the earth's surface that release steam and volcanic gases. These fumaroles are part of the larger Furnas Volcano, a dormant volcano with a summit caldera. The locals often cook meals in the hot geothermal soil here, a practice known as "Cozido das Furnas" (Furnas geo-cook). If you are lucky, you can try this unique geothermal cuisine at nearby restaurants. However, it is advisable to make reservations in advance. 📌Jardim Público da Courela 📍Largo das Caldeiras, 9675-045 Furnas, Portugal #travelanywhere #roadtrip #vacation #portugal #azores #pontadelgada #SãoMiguel #island #furnas #steam #volcano #park #caldera #geothermal #tripblazers #sãomiguel
