The Azores Islands Tourist Information

 Sao Miguel Island, it is not surprising that many tourists start their exploration of this amazing archipelago in São Miguel, the principal island of the Azores. São Miguel is the largest island measuring 65 km long and 16 km wide,  with around 135,000 inhabitants, this represents more than half of the archipelago’s total population and is also the most populated island of the Azores. Sao Miguel is also known as 'the green island’ because of its extraordinary fertility. In the centre of the island rises the Serra da Àgua de Pau, a mountain range reaching an altitude of 940 m above sea level. The impressive volcanic craters of Sete Cidades, Fogo and Furnas have turned to mysterious mountain lakes with crystal-clear water representing today some of the main tourist attractions.

Pico Island, called Pico because it has the highest mountain peak in all of Portugal at 2,352 m, making Pico Island stand out from all the other islands of the archipelago. Also famous for its whaling tradition, Pico is the second largest island measuring about 46 km long and 15 km wide. The distances to the other islands of the central group, of which Pico is the most southern, are about 8 km to Faial, 15 km to São Jorge, 80 km to Graciosa and 100 km to Terceira. Pico offers a good network of roads, on which it is possible to drive all around the coasts and visit the interior of the island, offering magnificent views across the Atlantic to the other islands.

Flores Island, is the fourth smallest and most western island of the Azores and is also known as 'the flower island'  due to the mass of flowers and plants, with many seeds carried over from America by migrating birds that grow on this island and make it one of the most beautiful and colourful. The island measures 17 km long and 12 km wide and reaches its maximum height of 914 m at the peak of Morro Alto in the north of the island. The island’s almost 4,000 inhabitants live in the two villages of Santa Cruz das Flores, the capital located in the centre of the east coast, and Lajes das Flores on the south coast.
