Azores Adventures D Uncovering the Verdant Isles
Bathed by the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, these little-known volcanic islands rise dramatically from the Mid-Atlantic
Ridge. We spend our time on two of the nine islands, Sao Miguel and Terceira, exploring their jagged landscapes and deep lava caves.
We take a boat to search for elusive whales and
dolphins and try local cuisine cooked in natural ovens cut out of the ground.
