Ponta Delgada, Sao Miguel — 4 nights

Visiting Caldeira das Sete Cidades and Furnas will get you outdoors. When in Ponta Delgada, make a side trip to see Parque Terra Nostra in Furnas, approximately Furnas away. There's still lots to do: explore the activities along Lagoa do Fogo, tour the pleasant surroundings at Praia de Santa Barbara, explore the fascinating underground world of Gruta do Carvao, and pause for some serene contemplation at Igreja Matriz de Sao Sebastiao.

Azores travel guide
Mountain Island
Composed of nine volcanic islands scattered in the Atlantic some 1,300 km (850 mi) west of continental Portugal, the Azores represent one of Europe's remotest vacation destinations. Settled sporadically over a span of several centuries, the islands in this archipelago retain much of their isolated feel, each one boasting its own distinct culture, dialect, and cuisine. Long overlooked by even the most adventurous travelers, the islands now surprise a growing number of visitors with their lavish natural beauty, good roads, and hospitable towns providing comfortable accommodations and modern amenities. Place the island of Pico at the top of your itinerary to discover Portugal's highest mountain, a picture-perfect volcanic cone rising above a landscape of World Heritage-listed vineyards.
