Portugal

Discover the Azores Islands

14 days

Trip Snapshot

This land, full of nature beauty in the blue immensity of the Atlantic Ocean, is the perfect destination for nature lovers! With almost six centuries of continuous human presence, the Azores gained an important place in the History of Portugal and in the history of the Atlantic: they formed a scale for the expeditions of the Discoveries. This is a world of fumaroles, mud pots and scalding springs; a world of caverns, columns and grottoes formed from once molten rock; of blue lakes ringed by forests of laurel and cedar, and green pastures patterning the slopes of calderas. The Azores are best known for whale and dolphin watching, this archipelago is a pit stop or home for about a third of the world’s species of cetacean. Nutrient rich water welling up from the deep, or rather the life it supports, is what attracts the whales; this is also what makes the Azores one of, if not the best diving locations in the Atlantic.
