Furnas doesn't just have one beautiful park though, it has three! One is mainly a kind of Nursery, although visitors are welcome to look around. The other is beside a disused mill and is also a quiet place where you can walk around lakes and along side a small stream in the peace and shade. Only the Botanical gardens at Terra Nostra charge for entry. The rest are free. Terra Nostra Botanical Gardens, Furnas - The Azores. Review by Corinne. Summer 2008.
