Venture into the village of Furnas and its volcanic caldera, flecked with steaming geysers and mineral-rich springs shrouded in Azorean cloud forest and misty waterfalls. Then delve into the sublime world of Sete Cidades, an epic landscape of crater lakes and pine-covered slopes, where the lost city of Atlantis lies submerged.
