Azores Walking Tour
Azores, Portugal
Why Walk Azores
The Azores are nine volcanic islands in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, about 1,500 kilometers west of Portugal. Sao Miguel, the largest island, is known for its twin crater lakes at Sete Cidades, hot springs at Furnas, and tea plantations — the only ones in Europe. The islands offer a raw, unspoiled landscape of volcanic craters, hydrangea-lined roads, and dramatic coastal cliffs.

Walking Tip
Rent a car on Sao Miguel — public transport is limited. The islands are spread out, so pick one or two to explore rather than island-hopping quickly.
Best Time to Visit
June through September for warmest weather. Whale watching is best April through October. The Azores are green and lush year-round.
