La naturaleza de las islas Azores es de una belleza espectacular. Cada día en este viaje por São Miguel es una sorpresa de paisajes cautivantes.

El color predominante del paisaje es el verde, salpicado
con infinidad de flores, siendo la hortensia la reina.

Recomiendan visitar la capital de Ponta Delgada caminando, ya que una parte importante de esta se encuentra en un espacio reducido de terreno.

Equidistant from Europe and the Americas are the islands of the Azores. This autonomous region of Portugal consists of nine (mostly volcanic) islands of which Sao Miguel is the largest both in population and landmass.

The Algar do Carvão is a volcanic cavern located on Terceira, one of the largest islands in the Azores 

The top of the vent is surrounded by green vegetation and there is a manmade staircase inside for visitors

At the bottom of the cave is a rain-fed lake that can swell to a depth of 50ft when it's particularly wet

Terceira Island is a lush, volcanic island located in the Azores archipelago of Portugal. It may be one of the most spectacular places on the planet. I never thought of this tiny island in the Azores as a potential hidden gem but it proved me wrong.

The island of Faial in the Azores has been nicknamed the 'Blue Island' thanks to its vibrant blue hydrangeas, hailed as some of the most beautiful in the world.
