Azores, a necklace of nine beautiful islands that belong to Portugal but are located in the middle of the Atlantic. Approximately 1,000 miles separate the archipelago from the Portuguese mainland. The volcanic forces that created the islands are evident in their thermal pools, verdant calderas, crater lakes, and steaming geysers, yet each island has a unique personality where nature is in its most untamed state.
Azores whales watching – The Azores is probably one of the best places in the world to go whale watching. That’s because it is one of the world’s largest whale sanctuaries, with more than 20 different species of cetaceans that either call the archipelago home or pass through during their yearly migrations.
Sete Cidades – provides the best introduction to the Azores’ breathtaking landscapes. Conveniently located on São Miguel, Sete Cidades is an area found northwest of Ponta Delgada that is composed of a blue lake and a green lake that are picturesquely placed in the middle of a 3-mile-wide caldera.
Lagoa do Fogo – Located in the middle of São Miguel, Lagoa do Fogo is more isolated than Sete Cidades and as such, the perfect place to disconnect if you’re hiking.
Furnas – The area of Furnas is basically one giant dormant volcano. As such, the area is full of hot springs, fumaroles, mud springs and geysers. Locals have come to use these geological offerings in a variety of ways, from bathing to cooking. Here, you can take a bath in mineral-filled waters, eat food that has been cooked in steam vents (such as cozido das Furnas stew) and drink tea that has been steeped with water from a volcano (found at Chalet da tia Mercês).
