The Azores: A Lost Paradise in the Atlantic

A small Portuguese archipelago isolated in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean between Europe and America, the Azores are one of the most unique places on the planet.

Nine islands offering an incredible range of natural landscapes reminiscent of the volcanoes of Hawaii, the moors of Scotland, the rice fields of Asia or the primary forests of New Zealand. A highly fertile land with a mild, temperate climate where everything grows. The Azores is home to the only tea plantation in Europe. A family business run exclusively by women.

For those who love unspoilt spaces and ecotourism, this is a dream destination. On the beach of Faja de Santo Cristo, a spiritual retreat combining meditation and surfing takes place. There is only one way to get there: a two-hour hike.
