Why the Azores?

The Azores Islands are a group of nine volcanic islands located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, about 1,500 kilometers west of mainland Portugal. The islands are known for their stunning natural beauty, with lush green landscapes, crystal-clear lakes, and dramatic cliffs plunging into the ocean.
The Azores are also famous for their unique wildlife and biodiversity, with many endemic species found only on these islands. The archipelago is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, offering activities such as hiking, whale watching, surfing, and diving. The Azores are also rich in culture and history, with a unique blend of Portuguese and Azorean traditions.
