The ultimate nature experience."
As mentioned previously, the nine islands of the Azores are all unique and to choose one above another would perhaps be wrong. However,
Flores, which is one of the remotest islands in the archipelago (along with Corvo) is often overlooked.
In doing so visitors to these unspoiled islands are missing some of the most spectacular scenery to be found anywhere in the world."Flores, was for us "simply breathtaking".
Flores, at the westernmost extremity of Europe, is not easy to get to (particularly in the winter months), however if you are looking to find a truly peaceful and natural place on this earth, then this beautiful island, which is only 17 km long and 12.5 km at its widest, incorporates everything you will be looking for. With mystical lakes, magnificent landscapes, lush vegetation (including an abundance of colourful hydrangea hedgerows) and mesmerizing waterfalls that tumble hundreds of feet down shear cliff tops, Flores is an island like no other. No words can truly describe what awaits you, but if you are blessed with kind weather, then it is safe to say that the memories will stay with you forever. Our 4-day Flores adventure included a 3-day walk/camp of the west coast path and interior. For us, this was without question the walk of the Azores. Read more.....

What others have said about Flores... "An island of incomparable beauty, due to its geographical form, and jagged terrain."

"In visiting Flores you will discover the true pleasure of nature in its purest form. Not since New Zealand have I seen nature and scenery as beautiful.
