  • Mystique: has a hot water curtain that provides a sauna effect.
  • Conviviality: It has panoramic views over the river and with two different depths.

To know this beauty any time of the year is ideal. However the best time to go to the hot baths is on chilly days or at night, but when it rains, it's still better.

Saudações, Portugal.
Nossa, é um dos locais mais lindos que já vi nada vida. Deixarei salvo esse tópico aqui. Quando eu tiver muito dinheiro e puder viajar para exterior, esse será um bom local para conhecer.

Muito obrigado. Boa tarde!

Espero que tenha muito dinheiro para visitar este local, pois é um paraíso.
Abraço

I was there three weeks ago, it's marvelous!
Unfortunately the day I went there with my girlfriend, a 15 years old kid went missing for 2 hours and the place was filled with police and worry. The Kid went up the river walking all by himself, the cop found him up stream all brown filled with clay.

Estive em Sao Miguel em Fevereiro e calhou ir a Dona Beija num dia de muita chuva, valeu 100%, a sensação de estar dentro daquela agua quente e o sentir a chuva a cair na cara e incrível!! sem duvida um dos meus lugares preferidos da Ilha!
