"The largest and most populous of its islands is São Miguel, nicknamed the 'Green Island' for its pastoral rolling hills dotted with dairy cows. Narrow and long, travelers can drive from west to east in an hour and a half. The island's startlingly wild volcanic landscapes, terracotta-topped villages, and endless scenic viewpoints mean that it will actually take days." - Katie Lockhart

Sao Miguel island is a wonderful place to visit if you appreciate nature and kind people. It is the largest island in Azores. We didn’t get to explore all the beautiful places, but plan on coming back in the summer.Lagoa do Fogo had most amazing view and picture can’t justify the true beauty of it. Furnace was wonderful. Had lots of fun watching hot springs. Sete Cidades is on the west side and it has amazing views. Ponta Delgada- Sao Sebastião had a beautiful town that was decorated for Christmas. So glad we rented a car and explored the island. Can’t wait to come back.

This island was not what I expected it to be. We spent a week on the island and we managed to dive 9 times, go on several walks and drive across the island at least 4 times. There's so much to do! Tea plantation, lakes, view points every 5km, diving spots, geocaching, hot springs...the options are endless. Renting a car is unfortunately necessary. I hope the island public transport will improve over time. Oh, and try the seafood. It is worthy. Can't wait to go back there!

Portugal 🇵🇹, Azores Sao Miguel is considered the largest of the Azores islands. It is very green and nature is different everywhere. Since the island is of volcanic origin, one of the main attractions of San Miguel is its lakes. The most beautiful are Lagoa do Fogo, Lagoa das Sete Cidades, and Santiago. They are best viewed from above; there are special viewing platforms for this on the island.

This island is ideal for people who love calm environments. There are plenty of natural places to visit and enjoy the presence of green in every part of the island. It's a paradise on earth.

After days of exploring through mountains and valleys, and enjoying the food and wine, we have found a place where we can escape from our long winter. To all of the good people along the way, obrigado!
