The nine islands that make up the Azores are in fact the peaks of some of the world's tallest mountains, reaching from deep beneath the Atlantic. The once-uninhabited, volcanic archipelago now hosts thousands of tourists every year who flock to the islands for sun, sand and verdant mountain scenery. From the beaches of Praia da Vitoria to the bustling marina of Horta, to the bubbling volcanic ground "ovens" of Furnas, these islands offer unparalleled--and unusual--adventures to discover.

The tour time can vary according to how many stairs that you want to climb, The beauty of this extinct volcano is breath taking. There are so many photo opportunities. I would have to rate this as a sting MUST SEE.

Located in the Natural Monument of Caldeira da Graciosa, the Furnas do Enxofre Visitors Centre (CVFE) is the core of the Biosphere Reserve and Graciosa Natural Park, while also acting as an entrance to the Furna do Enxofre.

Cave is a bit off the center, so call them before you go. You have 2 options - classic 30 minutes or longer excursion for more extreme adventure (they don't do that very often). We went for 30 minutes tour, which lasted 70 minutes and I would have stayed there even longer. Very friendly staff will tell you anything about geological history of the islands and the physics of the vulcanic eruptions and caves. I was excited how these guys care about their nature and they actions are even more incredible. Enjoy the tour, ask as many questions as you want and let this cave lives its life. Must see!
