Travel to the Azores has already shared the 10 unusual activities to enjoy during your trip. Must-dos, sure, but not exactly secrets… Today we invite you to open the doors to the Azores’ hidden gems, and create even more extraordinary memories!
1 – Visit a coffee plantation
The climate and soil of the Azores make it possible to grow some deliciously “exotic” produce: pineapple, tea, passion fruit, coffee… As for the latter, the island of São Jorge is the only one known to produce it. But that’s without counting on Travel to the Azores: other islands grow coffee plants on a smaller, private and completely secret scale. Picture yourself, deep in a lush valley or facing the sea, strolling among the coffee trees and learning every stage of production, from fruit to bean. Did you know you can even taste a tea made from coffee beans? Absolutely delicious.
2 – Sleep in a luxury yurt
Every type of accommodation exists in the Azores, from campsites to 5-star hotels. But one truly stands out: sleeping in a luxury yurt surrounded by tropical greenery. A passionate Azorean couple took the bold gamble of creating an eco-responsible retreat in the heart of breathtaking nature. Spectacular settings, sustainable construction, beautifully designed units, every comfort you could want (even an outdoor kitchen!)… another paradise on earth, within the paradise the Azores already are.
3 – Enjoy a geothermal lunch
You may have heard of the famous “cozido,” cooked using the heat of the volcanic ground. But a geothermal lunch is an adventure all of its own: savouring dishes prepared by the volcanic earth, a local tea or wine in hand, with a fairytale view. Delicious food, a magical setting, renewable resources, an unforgettable experience. You can opt for a private geothermal breakfast, brunch, afternoon snack or even dinner, and explore a little grocery corner of local ingredients as well as former 19th-century thermal baths.
