Why We Love This Deal

The Triangle Islands of the Azores are perfect for those looking to explore a beautiful slice of paradise. Offering three distinct islands, Faial, Pico and São Jorge, and the largest of the archipelago, São Miguel Island, it's no wonder why we love this deal.
Faial is renowned for its stunning volcano views and picturesque marina. It offers fascinating historical sites such as the Fort of Santa Cruz da Horta and Horta's marina with its impressive paintings and movement, while also delving into nature with a visit to the Capelinhos Volcano.
Pico Island is home to Portugal’s highest mountain peak, making it a popular destination for climbers looking to summit Mt. Pico at an elevation of 7,713 feet above sea level. The island boasts a complex network of vineyards that stretches toward the ocean, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2004.
São Jorge stands out from the others in that it's almost completely covered by mountains, dropping steeply down to the ocean. With all sorts of outdoor activities on offer from kayaking to canyoning, visitors are sure to be spoilt for choice when exploring this idyllic terrain. Don't skip the Fajã do Santo Cristo and Fajã dos Cubres!
Finally, São Miguel Island is known for its hot springs and geysers located in Furnas Valley, the perfect place to relax after a busy day sightseeing.

"We loved the trip! The hotels were nice and centrally located. The transfers were easy, both flights and the ferrys. The scenery on all of the islands was spectacular! Since we visited in January, the weather was a little rainy and chilly, but we had the islands to ourselves, that was a plus! "
