Azores: Natural Paradise

Approximately 4360 km east of North America and 1,370 kilometers west of Europe,
the hugely popular with hikers nine islands rise from the waves of the Atlantic. In Germany,
the Azores are known for the same high pressure system that ensures we always have good weather.
As a vacation paradise, the archipelago is not yet known. Although they are designed for walkers,
sailors and nature lovers an adventure playground. Paired due to the fascinating volcanic
landscape with an unusual variety of plants, UNESCO declared the flower island of Flores
two years ago, a biosphere reserve. On the island of Sao Miguel there are hot springs and
the only tea plantation in Europe. Sao Jorge is a green paradise for hikers and Pico is
the highest mountain in Portugal.
