São Miguel, Azores

São Miguel (also known as ‘Ilha Verde’, the Green Island) is the largest in the Azores archipelago. The island is a paradise for nature enthusiasts. The Lagoa do Fogo and Sete Cidades offer stunning crater lakes amidst lush greenery. There are great hiking trails through the Gorreana Tea Plantations if you’re in need of a leg stretch, and the Terra Nostra Park’s thermal baths are just the ticket after a long time at sea!
