It is estimated that around 250,000 people live on the island, and the region itself is considered part of Europe as it belongs to Portugal. Despite the small sizes of the isles, the climate is varied with tropical forests, volcanoes, and lush fields, which make up a large part of the Azorean landscapes. Hiking, riding, fishing, boating, and diving are just some of the interesting activities you can do here. You can check out beautiful destinations such as Terceira and Graciosa to make the most of your trip.
