Description
Untamed nature, wild waterfalls, volcanic lagoons, and laurel forests – discover Madeira and the Azores, the green pearls of the Atlantic.
Madeira and the Azores – these two volcanic archipelagos in the Atlantic Ocean, nearly a thousand kilometers apart, were a coveted destination for sailors during the age of exploration. Although both destinations are autonomous territories of Portugal, their location far from the mainland gives them unique characteristics.
Madeira is overflowing with a paradise of flowers and fruits, providing a colorful backdrop for diverse festivals and traditions. The striking crater lagoons and rich underwater life of the Azores will delight adventurers and nature lovers alike. This Rough Guide focuses mainly on the more popular Madeira, but it will also showcase the best of both locations. The guide's author, Emma Gregg, has thoroughly traveled all the islands and is eager to share her tips, favorite attractions, hidden gems, and extraordinary experiences.
