Stunning countryside, really beautiful island. You can literally feel the power of the earth and the sea. Perfect vibe region and nice place to hike.

Very laid back. Love the wine tasting rooms. In July and August, there are festivals almost every day. Breat taking sunsets.

I visited the Azores when I was about five and I finally thought I should write a review my great uncle built a house but unfortunately he passed away, and the place is stunning and I went hiking on the mountains/Volcanos the food is great and just the experience, and when I got on the plane we were going and then we got on a smaller jet and when I saw the islands I fell in love it was beautiful and I would 100% Recommend and I’m definitely going many more times!

Nature at it's best! Came here during winter but we were blessed with good weather! too bad we couldn't see Pico Volcano but we manage to experience Nature like what we've always wanted. Very natural landscape. Hopefully it will stay this way for years to come.

Incredible experience, this small yet mighty island is a hidden Portuguese treasure. Pico mountain is only a small part, whale watching/museum, swimming, terrific scenery, people, roads, lava tubes (Gruta das Torres) exploration, hotel options, real estate deals, the food is incredible, fresh ingredients from the vine, protected Unesco wine region and Wine museum, will visit again and again. I personally recommend visiting Lajes, Sao Roque and Madalena in that order. Take the boat to Faial or vice versa and you won't regret it. Make your reservations early, this has become a top tourist destination in the Acores/Azores.
