Poca da Dona Beija

Poça da Dona Beija is a set of five outdoor hot-water pools of varying depths in the Furnas valley on São Miguel Island, one of the most geothermally active areas of the Azores. The water is iron-rich, sourced from volcanic activity beneath the valley, and maintains a temperature of roughly 39ºC year-round. It is a distinct, separately managed attraction from both the general Furnas thermal/geyser area and the Terra Nostra thermal pool elsewhere in Furnas.
