Azores archipelago is located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, about 2000 km off the coast of continental Europe. It takes 2 hours flight to get there from Portugal and 4 hours to fly from Northern America.
This is a kind of “forgotten land”. It is hard to find mass tourism there, the sort of tourism we know from the other places. The Azores are all about the untouched beauty, nature, peace and above all tranquility so difficult to encounter nowadays. People are extremely friendly and helpful.
Azores is a photographer´s paradise due to rapidly changing weather and perfect photographic conditions, even in the middle of the day. The locals used to say that it is possible to experience 4 seasons in one day: from 25ºC sunny moments to near 0ºC cold wind with clouded skies.
The temperatures all year round are almost the same. One can expect temperatures from 16 to 23ºC. Best time to arrive is from September to May.
