Azores: in the Atlantic

We fly in the morning from Bucharest to Lisbon and from there to Ponta Delgada (Sao Miguel island, Azores), rent a car and stay.

First we need to adjust to the place, so we will take a tour of the island by car. Of course, we will stop at the most beautiful beaches on the island

This day we assign to the high area of the island, with the objective Lake of Fire. In the evening we relax at one of the many hot springs on the island.

The April-June period is the period with the most chances to see whales and dolphins at sea. About 10 different species pass through the Azores archipelago during this period, including the blue whale. We can't miss such a thing, so we will definitely go on a dedicated whale watching tour.

We go by ferry or kayak to the small island of Villet, where a natural pool offers perhaps the best bathing place in the area. In the afternoon we go to visit the tea plantations, the only ones of this kind in Europe

If you search the Azores on the internet, most likely among the first images displayed will be those of the twin lakes. The second hike of the tour takes us to the caldera where the two lakes are located and from where we will have a fantastic view. In the evening we repeat the thermal baths.

Being the last day we spend in the Azores, we need something more adventurous to stay in our memory. Optionally, we will be able to book, for those who want, a paragliding flight with exceptional views over the volcanic relief and the ocean or a coaster tour.

We leave early in the morning for Lisbon, from where we will fly to Bucharest.
