São Miguel is the largest island in the Azores, formed by volcanic activity; Portuguese settlers arrived in the 15th century and shaped much of the agricultural landscape you’ll see.
The Azores manage several marine and coastal protections—follow guide instructions, avoid touching reef life, and pack out all waste to limit impact.
