Azores
The Azores, an enchanting archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean, is a part of Portugal renowned for its dramatic volcanic landscapes, lush greenery, and unspoiled natural beauty. Comprising nine islands, the Azores offer a paradise for nature lovers with stunning crater lakes, hot springs, and rugged coastlines. Each island has its own unique charm, from São Miguel's vibrant geothermal activity to Pico's towering mountain, the highest in Portugal. The region is ideal for outdoor activities like hiking, whale watching, and diving. With its tranquil atmosphere and breathtaking scenery, the Azores are a true hidden gem of Portugal.
Flores
We‘re back from a magical place, some even call it heaven on earth. It‘s a gem still hidden in the middle of the Atlantic ocean – the Portuguese islands Azores. After two amazing weeks we‘re back with a heart full of love for nature and its beauty. We started our adventure in Azores on the island Faial but as some of our friends and readers wished, we‘d like to present you first the island Flores.
Flores is our favorite island. We‘ve stayed for four nights. Some people might think it‘s too much, because the island is very small, but for us it was perfect! The weather is unpredictable and no app or forecast can give you real meteorological guidance. We still think that we were very lucky. We had lots of sunshine and made it to see all the amazing nature highlights. But maybe it‘s also because we were not stressed about time. We tried to visit the Caldeiras two times and couldn't see a thing (too foggy). And then on one afternoon, suddenly the sun came out and we had the most beautiful afternoon on the island. We visited the Caldeiras and did a stunning coast hike.
