The Azores is an archipelago formed by nine volcanic islands, located 1,400km west of Portugal. The temperate climate, volcanic lakes, hot springs, steaming geysers, deep verdant valleys that contrast with the earthy tones of the volcanic cones and craters make this the perfect location for the nature lovers.
But there is more to see, over five centuries of history are reflected in their palaces, churches.
The five islands that make up the central group are where whale lovers make their pilgrimage to watch these magnificent animals breaching and spy hopping in the deep ocean.
