Most people visit São Miguel for the views.
What one may not realise is that many of the island’s most extraordinary places exist because of volcanic activity, powerful Atlantic weather, and a landscape that is still shaping itself every day.
You can swim in naturally heated waters.
Watch steam rise from the earth.
Drive through roads that feel like rainforest tunnels.
Stand on cliffs overlooking thousands of kilometres of open ocean.
And somehow, this small island in the middle of the Atlantic still feels like one of Europe’s best-kept secrets.
