the district
The Azores are volcanoes, lagoons and whales spotted from the shore — raw nature, right in the middle of the ocean. Each island is a world of its own, and all of them are worth the trip.
what to see
The Sete Cidades Lakes, on São Miguel, blue and green side by side.
Whale and dolphin watching, almost guaranteed.
