Discover the Azores Islands: A Self-Guided Tour in Sao Miguel

Sao Miguel

Free Cancellation

From $ 1.15

Duration: 8 hours (approx.)

Discover the Azores with self guided tour, allowing you to explore Europe's most spectacular volcanic archipelago at your own pace. Stand on the rim of Sete Cidades, a massive volcanic crater cradling twin lakes of emerald green and sapphire blue on the island of São Miguel, one of the most breathtaking natural landscapes in all of Europe. Soak in golden hued thermal pools heated by the earth itself at Terra Nostra in Furnas, where locals slow-cook traditional cozido stew by burying pots underground in volcanic steam for six hours. Walk through ancient laurel forests draped in moss and swim in natural lava rock pools carved by centuries of ocean waves at Mosteiros beneath towering sea stacks. Discover nine islands where Azulejo tiled churches, cobblestone harbour villages, and Europe's only tea plantations dot a landscape of dramatic calderas, hydrangea lined roads, and mist-shrouded peaks rising from the mid Atlantic.
