AZORES: Terra Nostra Park, Furnas - São Miguel Island
Parque Terra Nostra is a botanical garden located in the village of Furnas, on the Island of São Miguel in the Portuguese Azores.
You can find flora typical of the Azores, as well as numerous plants native to countries with climates that are completely different to that of Furnas. This adaptation has been made possible, in part, by the shared experience of Terra Nostra’s gardeners, who have been successful in adapting various plants, species and varieties to the existing conditions of the garden.
There is a thermal pool with volcanic, natural iron water of brown color. A thermal spring supplies the pool, at a temperature of between 35 and 40 degrees Celsius.
There are also two natural jacuzzis with thermal water
The development of the botanical garden & thermal pool started in 1780, after the then Consul of the United States, Thomas Hickling (1745-1834), ordered to build his summer residence here.
Vasco Elias Bensaude (1898-1967) bought, restored and expanded the park from 1937.

Terra Nostra Gardens & Furnas Hot Springs in Ponta Delgada, Azores - What to Do on Your Day in Port
On our port call in Ponta Delgada in the Azores, we took a shore excursion we bought onboard the Jewel of the Seas. The name of the tour was Terra Nostra Gardens & Furnas Hot Springs. And as the title says, we went to those places on the Island. The tour also stopped in the town of Riberia Grande on the North shore of the island. The price was $70 US each. It was a very good tour for the money. We really enjoyed it.

Terra Nostra Garden - Furnas, Portugal - Azores
Terra Nostra Park. Azores.
Terra Nostra Park. Furnas, Sao Miguel, Azores (2007).
There has been a garden in the Furnas Valley for over 200 years. Seen from the top of the Pico do Ferro viewpoint, you can see that the “valley” is actually a crater, seven kilometres in diameter, and the last remains of an apparently long-extinct volcano.
The Furnas Valley became popular towards the end of the 18th century, due to the growing interest in the use of mineral water to treat health problems, such as rheumatism and obesity. Furnas has hundreds of small springs and streams, all with different properties. The Terra Nostra Garden is located in the midst of this magnificent water system.
The Thermal Water Pool of Terra Nostra Park is without doubt a highlight of the Azores. Built in 1780, by Thomas Hickling, the American consul who had the original idea for Terra Nostra Park, the Thermal Water Pool began to form part of the assembly dominated by Yankee Hall, a holiday house owned by Hickling. The pool was significantly smaller at that time, but already consisted of an “island” in the middle, with a bridge linking it to the land.
The Thermal Water Pool was enlarged in 1935, acquiring its present form, with the refurbishment of the Park, operated by Vasco Bensaude. It was also enhanced by quarry stone masonry, remaining unchanged to date, undergoing

PORTUGUÊS:
Há 80 anos nascia nas Furnas um lugar único, despertador de paixões e emoções, que se entranhou no coração da ilha de São Miguel e dos seus habitantes, contagiando todos os que o visitam com a sensação que irão sempre voltar, que desejarão sempre mais um pouco daquele momento único que lhes pareceu demasiado passageiro para ser real.
Aqui passam pais, filhos, netos e os avós. Aqui se ligam gerações, aqui se criam laços emocionais tão fortes que só o regresso pode amenizar a falta que nos faz aquele momento. Aqui se criam os momentos mais importantes de uma vida, rodeados de um cenário idílico e totalmente surpreendente.
São assim os “Terra Nostra Moments”.
