Portugal (Azores), 8 Days · Tailor-made by car

Route through the Island of São Miguel, Faial and Terceira

A kaleidoscope of pristine beaches, charismatic colonial cities and lush landscapes of majestic volcanoes and verdant meadows

Savour every moment you spend behind the wheel as you explore the Azores, one of most beautiful and exuberant destinations in Europe. Its islands, which could easily be mistaken for Bali and Hawaii, are a traveller's dream come true, featuring everything from heavenly white-sand beaches to volcanic sands where lava and ash blend with the sea. A sea of amazing flora and fauna awaits you in the Azores. Just put on your dive mask and fins and launch yourself into the islands' natural pools or enjoy unforgettable outings where you'll spot whales, sharks, dolphins and turtles. This marvel of seabeds also translates into a varied and mouth-watering cuisine. Fish, in its infinite varieties, is one of the star products, along with the local beef. The pastures are generous and feed some of the best European cattle. A pleasure for your taste buds! Talking of your senses, a pleasure for your sight will be the wonderful sunrises and sunsets that can be seen from the privileged viewpoints that you’ll find along the route. And complementing this natural spectacle are miles and miles of tropical fruit trees and flowers. But the Azores are much more than nature. At the wheel, you'll be able to explore fascinating cities such as Ponta Delgada, Horta or Angra do Heroismo at your own pace. Colonial cities with cosmopolitan airs, brimming with stories and legends as incredible as the waterfalls of Salto do Farinha or Caldeira Velha. The islands of São Miguel, Faial and Terceira offer a unique showcase for lovers of eco-tourism, nature, relaxation and the good life. And everything is very close to home. Fancy it?

Important remarks

- Triple rooms in Europe are generally rooms with twin beds or a double, in which a folding bed is installed to accommodate the third person. Due to the inconvenience this causes, we advise against using this option as far the possible.

- The proposed excursions and tours for each day are purely suggestions, as you can tailor the trip to suit your times, tastes and needs.

- A credit card is considered a guarantee, so sometimes you will need one for check-in at hotels.

- Hotels usually have cots available. Otherwise, babies will have to share a bed with an adult.

- To pick up your rental car, you'll need a credit (not debit) card in the name of the person who made the booking, who must also be the named driver of the vehicle.
