Join us for a 10-day adventure to hike, explore and experience the culture of this botanical Eden that rivals Hawaii in botanical diversity yet maintains an old world maritime culture. We will visit three islands, historic fishing villages, magnificent gardens, impressive volcanoes and hidden lakes. Songbirds, whales and dolphins are common sights in this mid-Atlantic treasure. Delight in renowned Portuguese wines and authentic local dishes. These islands have so far escaped the onslaught of massive tourism. We will walk along narrow cobbled streets with red-roofed townhouses, ornate shutters and wrought iron balconies. We´ll make visits to Sao Miguel, Pico and Faial Islands - staying in comfortable 3 and 4-star hotels throughout, all with pools. Transfers by private and public bus, taxis, inter-island air and ferry connections are all included. By participating on this tour, you are creating opportunities to enhance aspects of rural tourism to the Azores lesser travelled region praised for its authenticity. Bring your curiosity, your sense of adventure, and your camera!
