The Azores

Home » Portugal » Portugal - Major Cities and Regions » The Azores

There aren’t many locations like this throughout the world but this is one of the few volcanic islands located in the centre of the Atlantic and during your visit you can guarantee warmer temperatures and there are many beautiful scenic views available with the lush countryside that surrounds this island.

The volcano lies dormant so there is no worry about it erupting but many enjoy the chance to stand in a volcano and this is one of the few places that offer such an opportunity, it is not something to pass up – just watch out for the heat, it can get quite warm.
