Part of the Azores archipelago, the island of Flores is clearly one of the most remarkable islands in the North Atlantic Ocean. Its steep coasts, its extravagant nature and its emerald sea are all assets that make it totally attractive. Don't hesitate to rent a boat in Lajes das Flores to admire the island's superb tourist sites!
Contemplate landscapes of extreme beauty
During your stopover on the beautiful island of Flores, you will have time to admire the splendor of an exceptional natural environment. Hiking is clearly the best way to enjoy the sumptuous panoramas of Rocha dos Bordoes and Faja Grande. The ascent of Morro Alto also allows you to enjoy a breathtaking view of the lush forest and the ocean.
While you're at it, you can also set off to discover the island's significant plant biodiversity in its two nature reserves. You will undoubtedly fall under the spell of the hydrangeas and azaleas that paint a sublime open-air garden of shimmering colors. Bird lovers will certainly prefer to linger by Lagoa Branca lake, a point of rendezvous for several species of migratory birds.
The other way to explore the wild and authentic beauty of Flores is to plan a boat trip. The view of the steep cliffs and caves of Enxaréus and Galo from your sailboat will leave you speechless! This little trip out to sea will also take you to the Santa Cruz das Flores Arch and the islet of Maria Vaz.
Vibrant activities around Flores
It is also impossible to get bored in the Azores archipelago. If you like refreshing swims, plan a hike to the Ribeira Grande waterfall or the Poco do Bacalhau waterfall. A walk to the crater lake of Lagoa Funda will also delight you.
To veer off into the underwater world, sail to Alagoa Bay. The best diving spot is at Baixa do Amigo. Fishing enthusiasts will also have a great time catching some sea bass and trout close-hauled to Garajau islet. As for the more intrepid, canyoning on the Cabo river remains an interesting challenge!
