The island of São Miguel also offers the possibility of bathing in Caldeira Velha, a natural monument in an exotic setting, which includes a waterfall of hot iron-rich water that will certainly impress you as much as Lagoa do Fogo, a little further up.
Following the route through São Miguel, the Termas das Caldeiras da Ribeira Grande include 3 small thermal pools: one outside, open to the public, which can reach 39 C; and two exclusive ones to spa clients. The flower-covered wall that protects them gives a romantic atmosphere, with colorful petals that spread through the water.
