A paradise for nature lovers, the nine island archipelago is situated in the middle of the Atlantic between Europe an North America. The tranquil setting of volcanic cones and craters, emerald green and sapphire blue lakes, fertile prairies covered with colorful hydrangeas and picturesque villages, is ideal for rest and relaxation.
Sports facilities include horse riding deep sea fishing, hiking, biking, surfing, sailing, tennis and golf. Discovered in the 15th century by Portuguese navigators, the Azores was a favored port of call for the early voyages to the New World.
Fortresses, churches palaces are evidence of a rich historic past, also reflected in the architecture of Angra do Heroismo, a colonial town awarded world heritage status by UNESCO. Sao Miguel, the largest island, has a wealth of unspoiled scenery, ranging from lush mountains and valleys to smoldering volcanic landscapes with bubbling hot springs. |
