Wandelgids Azores walking guide - Rother

Productomschrijving: Iedereen heeft al gehoord over de hoge Azoren. Een 3½ uur durende vlucht van Londen, naar de negen eilanden van de Azoren, Santa Maria, São Miguel, Pico, Faial, São Jorge, Terceira, Graciosa, Flores en Corvo, bevinden zich in het midden van de Atlantische Oceaan. Nog steeds vrij van massatoerisme. De archipel, die tot Portugal behoort is een Mekka voor natuurliefhebbers en individualisten.

Engelse omschrijving: The Azorean landscape is the very picture of extremity. Enchanting forests fuse with heavenly rolling hills and deep-blue crater lakes. Extinct volcanoes tower to the heavens and countless cleft valleys have been deeply cut through the volcanic stratum. The areas lying directly on the coast, often difficult to reach, are exceptionally fertile and under intense cultivation. From a multitude of scenic viewpoints, one can gather breath-taking views of volcanic craters, lakes, hilly countryside or the bizarre coastline.

Additional attractions are fumaroles and hot springs as well as thermal bathing pools. Because of these things, the spectrum of possible walks range from pleasant strolls through meadows and forests or along the coast all the way to challenging mountain hikes on Pico, Portugal's highest peak.
