About the Destination:

An unspoiled gem in the heart of the Atlantic Ocean, with two UNESCO World Heritage Sites among the nine archipelagic islands, the Azores offer an abundance of off-the-map-adventures ranging from discovering dormant volcanoes and caldera hiking to geothermal hot spring hopping. This destination also offers some of the best surfing in the Atlantic, whale watching experiences, and even exciting opportunities to swim with dolphins.  With this travel package, we have selected two islands, Pico and Terceira, which are both proud hosts of UNESCO's World Heritage sites, for your vacation pleasure.

Terceira Island

On Terceira Island, explore the World Heritage city of Angra do Heroismo, the Azores' oldest city.  Visit the city's 16th century fortress and descend the Alvar do Carvão, where visitors can explore a volcanic chimney and secondary magma chamber and see the two structures side by side.

Pico Island

Pico Island, dominated by the formidable Pico Mountain (Portugal's highest mountain) is a realm of unique beauty that is protected with World Heritage status. Visit Criação Velha, a unique wine growing area where currais (stone-walled vineyards) paint the landscape. A must-do on your itinerary will be a visit to the Museo do Vinho and the Whaling Museum, where you can learn about Pico's long wine-making tradition and its history of whale-hunting. Another adventure to add to your list is to descend into Gruta das Torres, one of the world's longest lava tubes.
