Furnas Waterfall and Aquarium - Poça da Tia Silvina

Poça da Tia Silvina offers a unique thermal experience on São Miguel Island, in the charming village of Furnas. While its thermal waters may not be as well-known as those of Terra Nostra Park or Poça da Dona Beija, this spot is well worth a visit, especially since it’s free to access.

What makes this place particularly intriguing is its location next to a cold-water river, creating a fascinating contrast with the thermal pools, which maintain a pleasant temperature of around 38°C (100°F). Although they’re not ideal for full-body soaking, it’s a fun experience to dip your feet into both the warm and cold waters, alternating between the two. Do you dare to try it?

In addition to the thermal pools, the area features a man-made waterfall, an aquarium housing various fish species, and leisure areas with playgrounds for children. The well-maintained paths are perfect for a relaxing stroll, especially after enjoying the famous Cozido das Furnas.

Combining nature, relaxation, and fun, Poça da Tia Silvina is a delightful destination for anyone visiting Furnas.
