ABOUT THE TRIP
On our trip, we will explore the largest island of the Azores – Sao Miguel.
If you have dreamed of visiting the edge of the world, the Azores are the best choice for this. The archipelago is an autonomous region of Portugal, but is located very far from Europe and close to North America. Also, the Azores are a paradise for those who love nature. This is an archipelago of nine islands in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, in the depths of which volcanic lava still boils.
This trip is perfect for people who love to be alone with nature. There will be hikes with picturesque views, geothermal areas and crater lakes created by ancient eruptions, and the endless ocean.
IMPORTANT: the tour program may change depending on weather conditions, the condition of the participants, and changes in the transport schedule at the discretion of the tour guide.

After breakfast, we head to Terra Nostra Park, a place where exotic plants from the tropics and cold countries mix. We'll dive into the yellow thermal pool — the color of the water in it is due to the high amount of iron.
After that, we will taste hot drinks on tea plantations (by the way, the Azores are the only place in Europe where tea is grown!). We will walk along the even rows of tea bushes at one of the oldest and most famous factories, Goreana. The tea here is special because it is grown on volcanic soil.
