Itinéraire
It is a very extensive geological formation, resulting from the formation of a lava tube in the interior of the island, included in the Serra de Santa Bárbara and Mistérios Negros Natural Forest Reserve.
Furnas do Enxofre is located in the parish of Porto Judeu, in the Municipality of Angra do Heroísmo, on the island of Terceira, in the Azores. They constitute a fumarolic field, that is, an area that comprises several outlets of aggressive volcanic gases, at different temperatures, some quite high.
We will go into a lava tube that is not open for turism so it is all natural, very few people know where it is. you have the option to go in or not.

Bernardo was an excellent tour guide! Answered all questions and gave us the true locals tour. Would recommend!
5Excellent Family Tour
This was a wonderful experience. We were picked up from the hotel by our guide Bernardo in a jeep. It was just me, my husband, and my 5 year old daughter. Bernardo was very personable and a wealth of information. We learned so much about the island, its history, and its culture. We never felt rushed and he was so good with our daughter. The caves are a must see if you are visiting the island. He also gave us several recommendations for restaurants and places to go with our daughter during our stay on the island. Strongly recommend booking!
5100% Recommend!!!!!
Antonio was extremely knowledgeable about all thing Terciera. The history, flora, fauna and geological history. He was also fun, friendly and very accommodating. He offered to tailor the tour to whatever we wanted. The jeep was clean and comfortable. He picked us up exactly on time. We saw 2 volcano tubes, a volcano and sulfur pit (which is way more beautiful than it sounds). He also offered to reach out any time about anything terceira. I feel like we made a friend here.
5An Education that Goes Beyond the Caves and Volcano tubes.
The different sites were each interesting in their own way. The “chimney” was beautiful. Beyond the caves, we learned about the history, culture, plant life, people, lifestyle, and more from our guide. We hadn’t even picked up the second family in our jeep and it already had felt like a full tour because of all that we learned from Bernardo. Bernardo was an outstanding tour guide. Not only was he constantly educating us and answering questions, he was clearly passionate about conservation and the caves. Great tour.

About Angra do Heroísmo
Angra do Heroísmo is the old stone town of Terceira island in the Azores, a UNESCO-listed port of colourful houses, churches and a fortified headland.
Angra do Heroísmo, on the south coast of Terceira island in the Azores, was a key stop for ships sailing between Europe, Africa, India and the Americas from the fifteenth century. Its old town, a grid of cobbled streets lined with whitewashed and pastel houses trimmed in dark volcanic stone, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The town was rebuilt after an earthquake in 1980 and kept its old shape. The Sé Cathedral and the Jardim Duque da Terceira are at its heart.
