Azores: one of the 50 best tours in Europe of a Lifetime in 2012
National Geographic Traveler acknowledged the Azores as one of the 50 best tours to take in Europe of a Lifetime in 2012. According to Margaret Loftus, the archipelago of the Azores, in the middle of the North Atlantic, "has long overshadowed the inland wonders of waterfalls, extinct volcanoes, elusive birds (like the Azorean bullfinch), and geysers and fumaroles". Definitely a place to visit.
