What to do in the Azores? This Portuguese archipelago lost in the middle of the Atlantic is all about the outdoors: hiking on volcanoes, bathing in natural hot springs, heading out to sea to meet whales and dolphins, swimming in natural pools carved into volcanic rock and admiring breathtaking « miradouros » (viewpoints). Nine islands, nine moods — and just as many ways to be amazed.
