Azores Islands

The Azores are a breathtaking archipelago of nine volcanic islands located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, roughly 1500 kilometres off the coast of Portugal. This stunning destination is known for its unspoiled natural beauty, rugged landscapes, and diverse flora and fauna.

Visitors can expect to find a range of activities to suit every interest and taste, from hiking and mountain biking to whale watching and scuba diving. Each island offers its own unique charm and attractions, from the verdant hills and hot springs of São Miguel to the dramatic cliffs and black sand beaches of Terceira.

In addition to its natural wonders, the Azores are also steeped in history and culture, with charming towns and villages that showcase the region's rich heritage.

Local cuisine is another highlight of the Azores, with fresh seafood and their high-quality meat, which is renowned for its tenderness and flavour. This is due in part to the fact that the animals are raised in a stress-free environment, with plenty of room to roam and graze on the lush pastures that cover much of the islands.
