Sold Out…thanks adventurers!
Join MYA for a spectacular adventure in the Azores! We’ll stay on the biggest island, the green island, São Miguel. Adventurers will be absorbing pristine nature, volcanic scenery replete with hot springs, crater lakes, waterfalls, marine life, thermal swimming pools, beaches, and more…
We’ll spend seven nights in a beautiful villa with a heated pool and hot tub with views of Barrosa Mountain. Adventurers will spread out into four bedrooms, with a choice of either a queen bed or twin bed - please know that there is limited space on this adventure. The living room opens up through glass windows to the outdoor backyard area with garden & soaking elements, and also to the kitchen. Anna will be your cook, serving up vegetarian fabulousness with Portuguese flair.
Adventurers will be in an excellent location to discover the whole island. The villa is five minutes from the beaches and ten from the center of Ponta Delgada, the charming & quaint capital with European vibes. There will be plenty of hiking along the footpaths on the island; and of course, those of you who love birdwatching, bring along your binos to see the feathered beauties on hikes and with a visit to the Priolo Environmental Centre. There’s endless exploring to be done on this lush island, a nature lover’s paradise and to top it off there are great possibilities of spotting dolphins and whales.
Driving along the coast, passing through Relva and Feteiras, surrounded by green with the sea in the background, we’ll visit the iconic crater-lakes of the region called Sete Cidades, Seven Cities Lagoon and take in the Vista do Rei, King’s View. Adventures can admire the beauty of the giant crater at the bottom of which the Verde and Azul lagoons coexist, twinned by an arched bridge, which according to legend were formed from the tears of a princess and a shepherd joined by an impossible love.
In Furnas adventurers will visit a hot spring resort Terra Nostra Garden Hotel where the 18th century Terra Nostra Park resides, a wonder-filled garden with a lake-pool of mineral-rich thermal water. The area has hundreds of small springs and streams, all with different properties with the garden located in the midst of this magnificent water system.
Amazing panoramic views are nearby at Pico do Ferro and Salto do Cavalo. Adventurers will visit a hot spring waterfall of Caldeira Velha nestled in the rainforest and swim in a nice warm bath in the atlantic ocean heated by the volcanic hot water at Ponta da Ferraria.
Adventurers will be offered up a daily morning yoga practice and well as a couple evening flows under the stars. Anna will be serving up five delicious vegetarian dinners and breakfasts, respectful of all food allergies. Lunches are on your own determined by wherever our adventurer places us, there are often leftovers and bringing along picnic supplies is also viable. Please know that everything is optional, you can skip out on yoga and whatever our excursion for the day will be to relax at the villa, perhaps even schedule yourself a massage :)
