 Flores
is primitive nature gone wild.
This is in evidence from the peaks and hills which sweep steeply
down towards the coast. From the blue mirrors of its seven lakes
which shine like faded jewels out of the enveloping green. From
the constant murmur of the slopes towards the sea. And, above
all, the rainbow of colours sprinkling the entire island with
all manner of hues.
 Refreshing
holidays spent amid an array of flowers
The beauty of the landscape of Flores beckons you to take a stroll
through its flowering hydrangea bushes which cover the entire
island in a vibrant blue hue. There is so much to see and appreciate:
from the liquid mirror of the lakes at the foot of the viridescent
volcanic craters to the gigantic basaltic prisms of Rocha dos
Bordoes. From the horizons where earth meets sea, to the sweet
melody of the birds and the wide variety of flora.
Diving into an ocean teeming with fish set between multi-coloured
cliffs, trout-fishing in the island's streams or taking a swim
in the pools dug out of the lava by the sea are only some of the
ways to add life and colour to your holiday. And your visit would
not be complete without a trip to the magnificent villas of Santa
Cruz and Lajes, dating back to the 15th century settlements as
well as the picturesque villages such as Fajazinha and Fazenda
das Lajes set deep in the valleys or on the heights of the cliffs.
Whether you're looking for an action-packed or more relaxed holiday,
this island will recharge your batteries and allow you to be at
one with nature.
