Canyons de Furnas

Reviewed By SRMF

The Furnas Canyons are a “must go” place. The water is crystal clear and there are incredible water falls that drop directly into the lake. Water temperature is comfortable.

Basilica of Nossa Senhora do Pilar

This baroque style church is very lavish inside, reflecting a period in which religious orders competed with each other to build the richest church.
