Great day - Our guide Andre was a very lovely and knowledgeable human being. He was very kind and thoughtful when one of us started feeling sick. He took us to see the tea plantation of Cha Gorreana, where we tasted some of that delicious beverage. And then proceeded to show us what was to be the highlight of our day : the botanical garden in Furnas, Terra Nostra. The hot springs were nice but mainly the biodiversity of both plants and birds is what blew us away. After a lovely meal cooked in the furnace of the earth itself, he then proceeded to take us to lagoa das furnas, where both the view and the neo-gothic chapel took our breaths away. The nature was stunning but Andre also offered good conversation and interesting trivia. Would blindly recommend.
