Things to do in Azores, Portugal: The Best Forests
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.

Lagoa das Furnas so much to see! You can go to the Lagoon itself and do a walk around, visit the park with information, see the locations on they made the famous cozido, or do a little paddle boat in the lagoon! To visit it's about 2euros so really cheap and for the rest you pay extra. You have a cafe, parking spot and a souvenir shop at the entrance. For this view you have to go to the Miradouro Pico do Ferro (only a few minutes by car)

I have been one of the first Grena visitors indeed. when you arrive around the like you do not expect such a beauty just next door. Then you see volcanic springs steaming and bubbling and out of sudden red pathfinder heading directly to Grena natural park . You will discover pure nature full of waterfalls, small lakes , green beautiful plants. There is a lots of sceneries you basically want to stay for a while ... Just sit at one of many benches and simply breath ... You will feel beauty of Grena by each second you will be there . Like another universe .. Definitely one of “ must visit places” on Azores. Highly recommend if you need to relax and recharge your batteries ????????

Some say it was here that the Kings D. Carlos and D. Amelia were received, when they visited S. Miguel island, in 1901. The Dr. Fraga Garden is a place of leisure and environmental education, offering a lake, a parking area and excellent sanitary facilities.
