About This Trip

Nine volcanic islands
rising from the Atlantic

The Azores are nine volcanic islands rising from the middle of the Atlantic, about 1,500 km west of mainland Portugal. Few places on Earth feel this alive. The island's raw energy is right at the surface: crater lakes cradled in green calderas, hot springs bubbling up through the ground, misty ancient forests, waterfalls and black-sand shores.

São Miguel, the largest island, is known as the Green Island. Furnas Valley holds the highest concentration of hot springs in Europe, the north coast is home to Europe's oldest tea gardens, and the surrounding ocean is one of the best places in Europe to see whales and dolphins.

Life here moves at its own gentle rhythm. Mountain, water and stillness come together, and nature becomes your guide.

Optional Activities

Some of the possible
activities in the Azores, Portugal

🥾 Possible Hikes
Sete Cidades
The classic caldera rim trail circles twin crater lakes with sweeping panoramic views. One of the most scenic hikes on the island.
Furnas Valley
A gentle walk through a geothermal valley with bubbling mud pools, fumaroles and the lush grounds of Terra Nostra park.
Lagoa do Fogo
A more challenging descent into a volcanic crater to reach a pristine highland lake. Misty, remote and very rewarding.
Laurisilva Cloud Forest
Walking trails through ancient laurel forest around Caldeirão Comprido. Atmospheric, wild and unlike anywhere else in Europe.
One guided hike is included in the retreat. The others are available as optional excursions.
🍽️ Food & Cultural Experience
Cozido das Furnas
A traditional Azorean stew cooked underground by volcanic heat in the thermal grounds of Furnas — unlike anything you've tasted.
Gorreana Tea Plantation
Europe's oldest tea estate, producing since 1883 on the green slopes of São Miguel. A unique stop on any island itinerary.
Local Markets & Pastries
Browse the Mercado da Graça, try queijadas and dona amélia, and discover the island's distinctive dairy and artisan food culture.
Ponta Delgada Old Town
Stroll the historic center, discover azulejo tile architecture, waterfront cafés and the city's charming streets.
