GENERAL INFO
HISTORY
CULTURAL HERITAGE
The Portuguese arrived in 1427 with the discovery of the island of Santa Maria. Due to its strategic geographic position, the archipelago was to become one of the axis of navigation between Europe, the Orient and America during the course of the 16th and 17th centuries. Having constituted an integral part of Portugal from the very outset, today the Azores is an autonomous region endowed with its own parliament and government.
Many of the island’s churches bear witness to the first period settlement. The 16th and 17th centuries were times of intensive building in the Azores, and left us interesting examples of popular, military and religious art, particularly in baroque style. The character of buildings was often adapted to suit the raw materials available, as well as reflecting the island’s distance from the cultural centers of Europe. The 16th century town of Angra do Heroísmo (on the island of Terceira), was the first urban centre built in the Atlantic. Today, its well preserved churches, palaces and fortress have earned it UNESCO World Heritage status. UNESCO has also recognized the cultural landscape of vineyards on the island of Pico, which are situated on old lava covered fields. Over the centuries, this rocky land has been transformed into wine producing soil protected by a vast network of stone walls. The museums of art and ethnography, together with the popular architecture of each island are also valuable parts of the region’s cultural heritage. They provide us with ways of discovering Azorean history and the life of its people throughout the centuries.
FLORA & FAUNA There are over 900 plants species in the Azores, many are relics from the “Laurissilva” cloud forest of the Tertiary period. This makes the islands a natural botanic garden of great interest to all plant lovers. Around 60 species are endemic, including Juniper, tree Heathers, Azorean Holly, Azorean Laurustinus, “Azorina vidalii”, “Picconia azorica”, African box wood, Azores Cherry Laurel, and more. Azorean birds are one of the main attractions in the region, particularly the “priolo” (Azorean Bullfinch, an endemic species), plus the Buzzard, Monteiro Storm Petrel, Cory’s Shearwater, Cliff Pigeon and common and Rosette Tern. The seas surrounding the Azores are rich in hundreds of species of fish and mollusks, as well as harboring large whales and dolphins. The islands are therefore perfect for divers.
GASTRONOMY
Each of the nine islands of the Azores has its own charm and its own distinctive landscapes. They also have a number of things in common - lush green countryside and colourful flowers, volcanic phenomena such as crater lakes at the bottom of “caldeiras”, plus mysterious caves, rock clefts and tunnels and, in the case of Pico island, a majestic mountain. To visit the Azores is to enter a landscape unspoiled by human interference, a stunning environment that brings you closer to nature.
Food lovers will appreciate the varied traditional cuisine of the Azores. For example, if you like your fish straight out of the sea, then these islands will make the perfect holiday. If you also like meat, try the “Cozido das Furnas”, a dish boiled with volcanic steam. Main courses and sweet puddings come in many varieties, and fine cheeses are locally produced, particularly on São Jorge island. Home grown fruit includes pineapple and tropical passion fruit, while perfumed tea grows on the island of S. Miguel, in the only tea plantations in Europe. When it comes to complementing your meal with a drink, be sure to try the local red and white wines, plus the “aguardente” (firewater) from Graciosa island, Biscoitos wine from Terceira island and of course the “verdelho” wine from Pico.
GEOLOGY
BEFORE YOU LEAVE
The Azores evolved from volcanic eruptions over many millennia; and all round the islands are examples of curious volcanic phenomena. There are rounded craters or “caldeiras”, often filled with lakes, plus caves and deep tunnels formed by the eruptions. Ancient black lava covers many surfaces and the islands, ranging from shiny obsidian to soft and porous pumice stones with steam from bubbling hot springs.
Currency: As part of Portugal, the currency is Euro as well. Most of the
LANDSCAPE
NATURE On all nine islands, there are dozens of natural reserves, protected landscape areas and parks. These are part of the Regional Government’s programme to preserve the archipelago’s ecosystems. In recognition of this, the Azores has recently won a special commendation in the European Tourism and the Environment Awards. For more information about Azores Awards, please go to: www.visitazores.com
restaurants, hotels and car-renting companies accept common creditcards. But don’t expect credit cards to be accepted in smaller restaurants and residential. Be sure to carry small bills. There are places that it can be a problem to change bigger notes. Electricity: The voltages on all the Azorean islands is 220 volt alternating current. Don’t forget an adaptor/converter. Wall sockets are different from Canada. Languages: The Azores is part of Portugal, therefore the official language is Portuguese. Many Azoreans speak English and some speak French.

AZOREAN EXPERIENCES - ISLAND OF FLORES
Aldeia da Cuada The recovered village in the westernmost island of Europe
Abandoned in the '60s, when its inhabitants emigrated to America, the Aldeia was restored by Teotónia and Carlos Silva, who wisely knew how to establish the connection between the hard rustic style of the past and the modern comfort needs of the present when renovating the rural design of the old stone houses. Unhurried, enjoy the sound of birds and the scent of dry hay, fresh grass and laurels with the sweet perfume of the flowers. In a world where scenery takes the breath away, peacefulness will be your most faithful companion.
Carlos Silva and Teotónia had a passionate vision 20 years ago. People called them crazy. But they pursued the dream. Gradually, the village was taking its present form, restoring houses, called by the names of their former owners. The village is now classified by the Regional Government of the Azores as "cultural heritage with historical, architectural and landscape interest."

CAMELLIAS COLLECTION SÃO MIGUEL
Terra Nostra Botanical Garden - An ICS Camellia Garden of Excellence The Furnas Valley became popular towards the end of the 18th century, due to the growing interest in the use of mineral water to treat health problems, such as rheumatism and obesity. Furnas has hundreds of small springs and streams, and the Terra Nostra Garden is born in the midst of this magnificent water system. Today at Terra Nostra, you can find flora typical of the Azores and impressive centennial trees, some of which were shipped from as far as North America, Australia, New Zealand, China and South Africa. Over the past two decades, the Terra Nostra continued to enrich its botanical value through the acquisition of new plant species. This constant concern to diversify and enrich the existing flora ensures that the garden now possesses large collections with plants of major historical and cultural value. These collections include the Camellia Collection, the Fern Collection, the Cycadales Collection, and more recently the Bromeliad Collection. All of the existing flora, in a garden area of 12.5 ha, contribute with their colors, forms and growth to making the garden a fine destination in itself, and wonderful to visit any time of the year. Blooming season for the Camellia Sasanqua: October until January High season blooming period for most of the Camellias: February until March PROGRAM Day 1 - SÃO MIGUEL - Meet and greet at the airport of São Miguel. Assistance for rental formalities at the airport and information kit delivery. Day 2 - SÃO MIGUEL - Half day tour to the Terra Nostra Botanical Garden. You will be accompanied by the resident agronomist Carina Costa and the head gardner, who will guide the visit throughout the extensive collection of camellia shrubs, including both ancient and other more recent cultivars. The more than 600 different species and cultivars of camellias found in the garden enrich the natural landscape and create an environment of unique beauty, from autumn (with the flowering of the Sasanqua camellia) until spring, with the flowering of the other species. Many of the camellias in the Terra Nostra Garden have been identified and labeled and have been divided into distinct areas, set out according to the surrounding landscape and devised in such a way as to facilitate exhibition of the entire collection. As such, visitors can find a camellia garden divided into five distinct areas, filled with cultivars of Camellia japonica, Camellia reticulata and its hybrids, Camellia sasanqua and its hybrids, hybrids and other botanical species. However older trees of Camellia japonica can also be seen along the lake´s banks as well as along the garden’s paths.

SANTA MARIA There are a number of different types of diving around the island of Santa Maria. This is directly related to the diverse geologic formations of the Azorean archipelago – caves, tunnels and sand bottoms around the coast, in low lying areas close to the coast or in submarine mounts or peaks further from the coast. Noteworthy that the “Baixa do Ambrósio” there is a yearly concentration of Devil rays unlike any other place in the world, is a sure bet. Natural Reserve Formigas and Dollabart is considered by many as the best diving location in Europe, the reserve is located 20 miles Northeast off the island of Santa Maria in “open sea”. A vast number of sub-aquatic species may be observed here. It should be noted that the highest number of sightings of the pelagic species takes place in this area of the archipelago.

Abandoned in the '60s, when its inhabitants emigrated to America, the Aldeia was restored by Teotรณnia and Carlos Silva, who wisely knew how to establish the connection between the hard rustic style of the past and the modern comfort needs of the present when renovating the rural design of the old stone houses. Unhurried, enjoy the sound of birds and the scent of dry hay, fresh grass and laurels with the sweet perfume of the flowers. In a world where scenery takes the breath away, peacefulness will be your most faithful companion. Cancellation & No-Show Policies - See terms and conditions pg 188

This technique is intended for pelagic that can be found on rocky bottoms at depths between 30 and 100 meters, where artificial baits can quickly climb, imitating a wounded or on the run fish that became very eye-catching for their predatores, causing them to attack decisively. The most common species are the Amberjack, Guellyjack, Bluefish, Barracuda, Seabream and others, whose battle requires great attention of the fisherman, speed and strength, not to be deceived in the skillful and strong leakage of the fish. 144
Bottom This fishing technique is done with the vessel adrift on rocky bottoms at depths that vary between 15 and 50 meters that usually is very effective throughout the year, mainly, due to the great diversity of demersal species that exists around here.

He has discovered and has got to know the impressive community of dolphins and whales that frequent waters of the middle of the Atlantic. Thanks to this ever-growing passion, the first Observation and Study Base of Azores Cetaceans was born in 1991, under the name of Espaço Talassa, the original! Each voyage (with a 98% success rate in average), does not only give the opportunity to meet one of the 27 sea mammal species registered in the Azores, but also to take part actively in the study and the protection of these last leviathans. Out at sea, but in accordance both with the animal and with our ethical charter, you could contribute to the collection of data necessary for our studies, such as the species observed, photos, underwater recordings… Departures from Lajes in Zodiac Boat Rates per person Half Day Trip / Person RACK RATE

WEDDINGS
In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean half way between the Old and New world, you will find an unspoiled destination offering you nine (9) Islands, in one Natural paradise, fit for romance and fun. Offering an ideal climate all year around, mild temperatures makes it inviting for weddings and vacations! There are many bays and lagoons which dot the islands shoreline providing an abundance of magnificent ocean views, not to mention some of the best photographic backdrops, and of course lots of opportunities for pre/post wedding activities and adventures such as swimming, snorkeling, diving and sailing activities.
RELIGIOUS CEREMONY: Portugal is considered a Catholic country and as a result the only religious weddings that are legally binding in Portugal are Catholic ceremonies. Stunning cathedrals, beautiful churches and lovely chapels are abundant throughout the country and its islands. CIVIL CEREMONY: Civil Weddings are legally binding both in Portugal and in your home country. As a rule, civil weddings are held either in state rooms, at the Wedding Hall or at the embassy. Nonetheless, for an additional fee celebrants may travel to the venue of your choice. SYMBOLIC CEREMONY: Symbolic services can be as elaborate or as simple as you wish. These ceremonies, for first-times and re-commitments, can be held in religious chapels, on a boat, in a park, or just about any other location you can think of! These types of weddings are not legally binding; nonetheless you do receive a symbolic certificate in hand calligraphy. FLOWERS: For you, your guests, bridesmaids and venue - tasteful embellishments for an already beautiful day. BEAUTY: For the happy couple and/or the bridal party, select spa services and beauty treatments before the big day in preparation of the joyous occasion, and afterwards to unwind from the busy day. TRANSPORT: Why not treat yourself to a horse and carriage ride, luxury car, or arrive to your ceremony or reception by boat! MUSIC: According to your taste: violin, mandolin, or guitar to accompany you during and after the ceremony. FAVOURS: Why not add a final touch by offering your guests a small thank you gift as a reminder of your happy day. RECEPTION: A large selection of restaurants are available in each location, offering the best of local cuisine with elegant and romantic surroundings for the special occasion. PHOTO/VIDEO: With such a memorable event, you will want every picture frame in your house filled with joyous moments celebrated together on this special day. Professional photographers and videographers will help capture every moment, so you can relive them over and over again. DESTINATION INFO: The largest of the nine islands in the Azores is São Miguel and its largest city is Ponta Delgada. If you are looking for absolute comfort, shopping, bistros, cafés and a hip nightlife then this is the place to be. São Miguel Island is known as the Green Island because of its lush green fields and meadows and its gorgeous tree-covered slopes. The second largest island, Pico, has an unbelievable scenery. The Pico Mountain is the tallest peak in the mid Atlantic. The third largest of the Azores Islands is Terceira – known for its gastronomy and its laid-back atmosphere it is also home to the city of Angra do Heroísmo (Bay of Heroes), which is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its outstanding historical monuments. If you are looking to get as far away from the hustle and bustle of modern life as you possibly can, consider the Azores, tucked away in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, hundreds of miles from the nearest continent… your Natural paradise awaits you. 186
