See why National Geographic calls the Azores
In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, a string of nine volcanic islands rests at the intersection of the Eurasian, African, and North American tectonic plates. Portugal’s sun splashed Azores Islands are a trailblazer in sustainable tourism and boast a robust outdoor culture. The archipelago is considered one of the greenest destinations in the world, protecting not just natural wonders, but also a way of life (wine, honey, pineapple, and various cheeses enjoy protected status here). Dip your toes into the warm Azorean waters and discover paradise on these islands.
International travel made easy! Every step of the process was laid out and all of our needs were anticipated. This was the best trip I have ever been on, start to finish. Kristi, Demecia and Darcio are a travelers dream team! Thank you so much, can’t wait to book again! This truly was an experience of a lifetime.
Cathy Boden - February 2021
My escape to the Azores was exactly what I needed during a period of my life when self discovery and resiliency was most needed. I took several hundred photos and I review them whenever I need to "go back" to the island. Kristi, Darcio, and Demecia are very knowledgeable, competent, laidback, and just a joy to be around! Even when I thought there wasn't time for a special request, they made it happen and it was well beyond what I had imagined. Before I got home, I was already planning my next trip to the islands!

The Azores are located in the northern Atlantic Ocean, roughly 2,400 miles east of the U.S. and 930 miles west of Lisbon, making them the closest European land to the United States. The Portuguese archipelago is made up of nine volcanic islands spread across 400 miles, which are divided into three island clusters: eastern (São Miguel and Santa Maria islands), central (Terceira, São Jorge, Pico, Graciosa, and Faial), and western (Flores and Corvo).
The Azores, as part of Portugal, is a European Union member and uses the Euro.
The Azoreans speak Portuguese. Many people do speak English though, and language is not an issue.
Absolutely! Add another island or two if you'd like as well. Shoot us an email and let us know what you're thinking. revibetravels@gmail.com
