The Azores are an archipelago of nine volcanic islands situated in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, forming an autonomous region of Portugal. Known for their stunning landscapes, these islands are a paradise for nature and adventure lovers. Crystal-clear volcanic lakes, impressive calderas, verdant fields and imposing mountains compose breathtaking scenery. The Azores are also a privileged destination for whale and dolphin watching, with more than 20 species of cetaceans inhabiting their waters. The local cuisine, based on fresh and organic products, and the hospitality of the Azoreans complete an unforgettable experience in this destination still preserved from mass tourism.
