About the Azores

The Azores are an archipelago of Portuguese islands in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, about 1,500 km from Lisbon and about 3,900 km from the east coast of North America. The Azores is one of the last untouched areas of natural beauty on the planet, unaffected for the most part by mass tourism.

The nine beautiful Azorean Islands have volcanic origins; the mountain of Pico, on Pico Island, is the highest in Portugal. The Azores are in fact the peaks of some of the highest mountains in the world showing through the sea.

The Archipelago of the Azores is situated in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean about 1500 km from the European coast and 3900 km from the North American coast. The resident population of the nine islands totals 237,000 people. Ferries and domestic flights link the islands.
