Reasons You should VISIT TERCEIRA ISLAND IN THE AZORES

The Azores is not a widely recognized destination for the majority of Brits - when I told individuals I was on my way to stop by Terceira, many individuals stated,' Where's that?' Answer: inside the Atlantic.


It is easy to dismiss the Azores: they are an element of Portugal and mainland Madeira and Portugal are easier, cheaper and quicker to get to; the only air carrier to get on a plane immediate coming from the UK, in addition to only during the summer, is Azores Air, so you may have to eliminate above in Lisbon (a beautiful city, so really that's virtually no hardship); not to mention, as the islands are more than 1000km from the mainland, it does take quite some time to make it happen.


But they are really worth the effort. Having just recently visited Terceira island, below are 3 reasons why you should put it on your holiday wish list:


VOLCANOES

Terceira is the only place in the world where you are able to go INSIDE a volcano and actually stand inside (the now extinct) magma chamber. At Algar Carvao (part of the Pico Alto, which is an active volcano) you do not need to abseil down or use any special equipment - there's nothing much more strenuous than a stroll through a lengthy tunnel to attain the interior, then a great deal of easy to regulate measures using you lower to the big, round chamber where the magma previously bubbled. The walls look like a Jackson Pollock painting in hues of brown with tiny sparkles of obsidian.


HIKING

You will find a great deal of incredible places in the world to go hiking and Terceira certainly offers a great deal of variety. But for me personally, the Misterios Negros really stood out, plus is cause to check out the island. The trail is through the wild Nature Reserve of Serra de Santa B�rbara.


It's a challenging hike as the route is quite uneven; you clamber above rocks, apply logs as stepping stones through the water, duck under low limbs and climb up into the cloud forest.


FOOD

Even in case you haven't travelled to a spot for the food, the gastronomic experience is able to leave you with a wonderful taste of the spot, or that underwhelming feeling of simply wanting getting home to eat something decent. In Terceira it is going to be the former; much of the food is cultivated on the island, hence it's full and fresh of flavour, you can find community cheeses to try, and they in addition make their very own wines. And there are the cakes.


BONUS - WHALES &amp; DOLPHINS All these're excellent reasons to book a vacation to Terceira - but in case you want one more reason, then it has to become the whale watching. The Azores are recognized for a great deal of whales all year round, so there's a very good chance that you'll spot one (or perhaps more) when out over a watercraft within the deep water beyond the island. A little zodiac is a good way to go - healthy, fast, and at the water, hence you will get an incredible view.
