Created in the eighteenth century around a thermal spring, it combines a warm bathing pool, rare trees and shrubs, and a celebrated collection of camellias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A garden of two centuries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The garden was begun in the 1770s by the American consul Thomas Hickling and later developed by the Viscounts of Praia, who brought plants from around the world. Its avenues of camellias, tree ferns and palms, together with the warm pool fed by the volcanic springs, have made it one of the most visited places on S\u00e3o Miguel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to see<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The thermal pool, warm and rich in minerals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The camellia collection, especially in winter and early spring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rare trees, tree ferns and tropical plants.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The formal gardens and the lakes of the estate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visiting the garden<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The garden is in the village of Furnas, in the east of S\u00e3o Miguel.
