São Miguel Azores: 15 Extraordinary Places You Can't Miss! 

Thanks for watching! We would love to know which one you’re most excited about☺️👇

It makes me very happy to know that others enjoy where I was born and love.

I am in the process of researching my trip to azero and your vlog is the best i have found on youtube. Most travel bloggers go for lots of drone shot which might look nice on a video but it is not an in-person experience. Actually informative. To the point. Short and not loaded with long hair blown the wind! 😅😅😅 thanks!

Thanks for appreciating São Miguel ❤ I havent been back for 15 years i miss it dearly as its where i grow up ... Great video ,thanks for sharing it with the world . God Bless you both . PJ

this video about Sao Miguel was one of my favourites, super helpful!

I just got back from the Azores. Wow, fantastic! For my trip, I went on three separate guided tours in the $50-$60 USD range. Super easy to have a local show you everything without having to drive on the narrow streets.

Absolutely beautiful place visit 💙💙👍👍

Amazing photos and footage of an incredible island thanks for sharing!

My mother & her family were from Furnas. I took her back after 60 years - it was a real treat for her - she marveled at the fact there were now roads & cars all over the island 😆 She showed me the tea farm where her mother would go pick tea and dry it in the open air and the calderas where they would cook Sunday dinner. We went to the spa and drank the iron water from the natural fountain. Amazingly we met up with old family friends - women my mother went to grade school with - while walking along the main road in Furnas and also in Ribeira Grande, where one of her grandmothers lived. The new owner even let my mother come inside and see how it had changed. Her other grandmother lived in the middle of Furnas in the house with the 3 Bicas (3 faucets). There used to be a large trough in front where people would water their horses - I noticed it is no longer there - and across from the botanical garden there was a stream with a small bridge named after my grandfather called Ponte de Sr. Elias. I hope to take my husband there soon to see how amazing the island is. Great video ♥

This was so helpful !

Excellent Video...My ex and I had booked a week-long trip to the Azores; we loved everything about it; the natural beauty was just surreal. Anyway, we ended up extending our stay to one month. These Islands were unnoticed despite being in the middle of the Americas and Europe. Tourism is booming over there. However, I would caution people that getting a car rental is almost impossible to find in the summer. What worries me is that now that the Azores has been "discovered," it might interfere with the natural beauty I can honestly admit I have never seen.

Awesome video and thank you for sharing 💙💙💙👍🍷🍷

Absolutely beautiful ❤️ 😍

Thank you!! That's exactly what I thought!! Planning each day and then decide when going where! Next week I wilk be there, thanks fir the advices 😀

Thank you for the review, you have beautiful smiles)

Thank you for making such a thoughtful video with great recommendations. It was very helpful!

Shhhhhh 🤫 the Azores is a secret! There are nine islands - if you want running of the bulls and fun, fun, fun, go to Terceira.. S Miguel is beautiful, great shopping … São Jorge natural beauty, hiking, deep sea fishing…Faial go during sea week, sign the wall, see the volcanic eruption of 1957-1958 … Pico is about whale watching, dolphins, wine and it’s late July fair weekend … the others are really tiny! Great video ❤

What a beautiful and lovely couple you are ❤

Wow absolutely stunning. Definetly want to go there, pure magic. I have family roots from Portugal, Madeira in particular so would love to go there too and the AZORES are tops too!

Great video! Really nice work! Thanks a lot!!

Just booked a trip to Sao Miguel today thru Azores Getaways at a great price. We have been to Terceria twice and loved it. Great video.

First off, I must acknowledge the fantastic job of presenting this video. It provided me with a really good yet straight forward summary of all the place visitors may want to explore. Your helpful tips should come in handy as well!So Thank you and Great Job! One thing I may have missed, would you mind sharing how long was your stay on Sao Miguel? Just trying to gauge how much time is needed to really explore the list you’ve shared…

Loved this! Just wanted to suggest that because you two clearly have passion and a lot of chemistry, your channel could really pop if you take care with your editing; cuts between music and dialogue are a bit jarring! But otherwise the shots you took and the info you give are amazing!

(One of Europe's only tea plantation?!!! The only one in Europe ,you mean 😂❤

I wanna go there in dec .

The trip looks amazing! Could you share the drone model you have?

Going to Madeira and Sao Miguel in August, thanks for all the info! Do you know any info about the tours where you jump in the water and snorkel with dolphins? Was wondering if it would be worth it or not. Definitely going to hit most of these spots you talked about!

Great video! Question: did you stay in one place on the island the whole time? Is it feasible to drive to all of the sites from one base point? We will have 4 days there and 3 in Lisbon.

Hi, love your video, thank you for putting so much effort into this. I'm laying over in sao miguel for 6 hours, if there is 1 thing to see or do in Sao Miguel in such short period of time what would it be!? :)

Wonderful video. Gives us a lot of info. Would you mind sharing where you stay?

Great vid! :) What drone do you guys use?

Love your video such great information! Where did you two stay? Airbnb? Hotel? Thank you

Wondering which site you used for the webcams in Sao Miguel?

Did you guys go to the mountains top in seven cities to get the view of the two lakes where one side is blue and the other was green. Did you go to fire lake or to the place I the early morning to see the sun rise over the ocean. I was there 30yrs ago I was 16 my dad is from there. We are doing a group of 10 family trip there this fall. So your suggestions are cool thanks

is it possible to get to lagoa do fogo by bike? or is it very hard

What time of year did you visit (sorry if you said and I missed it)?

You forgot the poça da Beija in Furnas.

Just a heads up for anyone wanting to go to logo da fogo. I'm not sure if it is just a busy season thing, but you cannot drive up to it between the hours of 9am and 7pm in a rental car. They force you to take a your bus if you want to. Also, any of the hotsprings nearby it, in the summer months, will one hundred percent be "sold out" unless you want to go WAAAAAAAYYYYYYY later in the day, so buy ahead. Furnas is an absolute disaster to drive around in the summer months with all the tourist parked all over the place and wandering the streets not paying attention like zombies. The big botanic garden there is also under construction in a lot of parts currently.

Which drone do you use?

Would it be possible to swom to the Islet of Vila Franca do Campo?

Hi guys ! Is it possible to know in what month you visited the Azores? Thank you!

i love maroon just saying!

Hey guys. Are the azores more budget friendly than Hawaii ?

hi im portugues i can teach you guys so next time you go you can speek it :)

Which is better Azores or Madeira? For travel? Or living?

Impeccable images. Keep up the good work. I take this opportunity to invite you to follow "Azores, What Else", both here on RU-vid, as on Instagram and other social networks. Best regards.

UAU. No coments

Can you travel without a car? I want to travel with my son. I don't have a driving license 😊

Sorry but it’s not called vila franca do campo but o ilheo de vila franca do campo that small island 🏝 ok just letting you know for next time please and thank you. I know that because I’m from there but I live in 🇨🇦 forxa sao Miguel e sempre pra la cum caralho 😂

São Miguel é nos Azores , não em Portugal !

I think you mean 'erratic' not 'sporadic' 😬

I don't like black sand.

Do NOT travel to the Azores. We need PEACE....
