What you can expect

Experience the authenticity of Azorean cuisine through a full immersion in the legendary tradition of Furnas. This unique experience allows you to follow the entire sacred ritual of Cozido das Furnas up close. It all begins in the kitchen, where the chef meticulously prepares the pot, layer by layer, using the finest local ingredients. Next, you will witness the magical, almost ancestral moment when the pot is carefully buried in the volcanic soil, where natural geysers slowly cook it for hours.

The climax comes when the pot is retrieved, emerging from the earth still enveloped in intense, aromatic vapors—a spectacle for the senses. The tasting takes place at a table in the À TERRA restaurant, where the flavours, enhanced by geothermal cooking, come to life in a true celebration of the palate.
