Right next door to the hot springs in Furnas on Logo do Fogo, aka Fire Lake, is some great hiking and scenic tours around this amazing body of water. Not knowing we were about to adventure into a long trek, we started up the trails, through abandoned plantation houses engulfed by nature over the years and stoic trees towering overhead. At this point, flip-flops still in tack-thank you Sonuk! , we realized we were 1/2 way up this mountain already. And with both our strong minds and determination-we were going to the top! The inclines began getting much steeper, and the soiled path wet from the previous rain and from sitting in the shade. Alas, we finally made it and the breathtaking views of the lake were well worth the effort. We signed and dated the paper, leaving our mark and took a rest-absorbing our immeasurable views.
