The island of flowers remains wild and its landscapes are among the most majestic in the Azores. Waterfalls, lakes, cliffs and hamlets are immersed in luxuriant vegetation - millions of hydrangeas, mosses and lichens 30 cm thick - nourished by rain that falls an average of 300 days a year! But don't let these conditions dampen your desire to hike and stroll around this little paradise.
