Jardim Público da Courela

Jardim Público da Courela is a public garden located in Furnas, a small town in the southeastern part of São Miguel Island in the Azores.

It is a beautiful and tranquil spot, offering a variety of walking paths, lush vegetation, scenic views and stinky vents 😂. This park is more widely known for its geothermal activity, featuring numerous fumaroles - openings in the earth's surface that emit steam and volcanic gases 🤢.

These fumaroles are part of the larger Furnas Volcano, a significant dormant volcano with a summit subsidence caldera. The park offers visitors a unique experience of witnessing geothermal phenomena up close.

Since the Parque Terra Nostra costs entry fee it's import to mention that you neither pay for entrance, nor for parking.Read more
