About Azores Spirit

Azores Spirit is an independent travel resource dedicated to helping you discover the Azores archipelago, from Ponta Delgada's historic centre and the twin crater lakes of Sete Cidades on São Miguel to the thermal valley of Furnas, the UNESCO-listed old town of Angra do Heroísmo on Terceira, the volcanic ascent of Montanha do Pico, the painted marina of Horta on Faial, and the inter-island flights and ferries that connect all nine islands.

What we do

We create in-depth, regularly updated travel guides covering Ponta Delgada and the crater lakes of Sete Cidades on São Miguel, day trips to Furnas, Lagoa do Fogo and the Gorreana tea plantations, the historic sites of Angra do Heroísmo and the volcanic Algar do Carvão on Terceira, the vineyards and ascent of Montanha do Pico, excursions to Faial's Horta marina and the Capelinhos volcano, the fajãs of São Jorge, the remoter islands of Flores, Corvo, Santa Maria and Graciosa, and practical planning advice — including getting here via Ponta Delgada Airport and travelling between islands by SATA Air Açores flights or Atlânticoline ferries — for both first-time and repeat visitors. Every article is researched thoroughly and written to give you genuine, useful advice — not generic filler content.

How we earn

Azores Spirit is funded through affiliate partnerships, primarily with GetYourGuide and Viator. When you book a tour or activity through one of our links, we earn a small commission at absolutely no extra cost to you. This income allows us to keep the site running, create new content, and maintain existing guides.

Our affiliate partnerships never influence our recommendations. We suggest activities and tours that we genuinely believe provide good value, regardless of commission rates.

Editorial independence

We are not sponsored by any tourism board, hotel chain, or tour operator. Our recommendations are entirely independent. If something is overpriced, overhyped, or not worth the trip, we will say so.
