In October 2022 we went to the Azores for 10 days. We visited 3 out of the 9 inhabited island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean (1300 km from Lisbon and 2500 km for New York City).
The first island we went to was São Miguel. Enjoy in the video pictures and drone footage of:
- Lagoa Azul: a crater lake with bright blue water
- The typical churches in the villages of the Azores: white with black basalt blocks rimmed
- Black sand beaches to surf
- Parque Terra Nostra: a park close to Lake Furnas, with natural hot springs and steam clouds coming out of the ground (caldeiras)
- Ermida de Nossa Senhora da Paz: a white chapel with the blue Portuguese tiles and beautiful panoramic view over the sea
- Ilheu Vila Franca do Campo: island of Vila Franca do Campo is a 150 meter wide crater of a sunken volcano
