Dolphines

From the Capital Ponta Delgada we went on Dolphin and Whale safari in small fast rubber boat. We were lucky enough to see hundreds of Dolphins on close range , playing around the boat . We also saw two large Ocean Turtles and lots of seabirds , but no whales this time , however the guide said he`s seen ten three days ago.

Palacio de Visconde da
Praia

In the town Furnas 45 km from Ponta Delgada , we found this wonderful Spa bath , with vulcanic heated water , very rich on Iron and minerals . It is said that everyone who baths in this place will become 20 years younger.Here you will find a luxcery Spa hotel , founded by the American Viceconsul and buisnesman Thomas Hickling (1745-1834 )

Lagoa das 7 cidades -SºMiguel

by mcb

I'll recommend four islands...
1- Sº Miguel
2 - Faial
3 - Pico
4 - Terceira
but you have 5 more to visit - Sta Maria, Graciosa, Sº Jorge, Flores and Corvo.
Sº Miguel is the most tourist and perhaps the most beautiful...but faial have a lot to see too, I don't know, pick the four.

Address: Arquipelago dos Açores - Portugal

	Natural swiming pools Tip Rating:

People in Azores call this a "natural swiming pool". There are some stairs built in the sea and everybody go there for a swim. And they swim all year long: summer and also winter. The sea is not that cold. I loved the temperature of the water here

	Gin And Tonics. Tip Rating:

By Red_fish on March 25, 2004

Região Autónoma dos Açores Page by Red_fish

Pico is always there.

by Red_fish

Faial provides three unbeatable "must do's":
the view of Pico Island, the Capelinhos Vulcano, and Peter's Café Sport Gin And tonics.
So: go in the afternoon to see the vulcano, return to the city of Horta, ask for a Gin and tonics at Peter's and seat outside watching Pico fading away with the end of the day.
Outstanding.

Address: Peter's in Horta, Faial Island

In Porto Formoso there is the sole plantation of tea in Europe. Worth visit. They show you the plantation and the factory. In the end you can have some tea in the saloon. It is a refurbished old factory: interesting!

	Sete Cidades Tip Rating:

Região Autónoma dos Açores Page by pginer

by pginer

Located in the west of the island. It is a group of 3 lakes. I was not lucky with the weather ... imagine this with sun!!!
There is a history about the blue and the green lakes: it is said that a princess with blue eyes felt in love with a shepherd with green eyes. The king did not allow them to marry and they cried so much that from the princess tears was the Blue Lake and from the shepherd eyes the Green Lake. Today you can not see the difference of the two colours in the lakes because lots of plants that grew in the botton of both lakes

In front of Vila Franca do Campo there is an interesting island where people go to swim. It is called Ileu da Vila. Take a boat in the marina. There are boats every 20 minutes during summer.
