Trip to the islands of the Azores. This will be an 8 day, 7 night adventure with hiking, cultural exchange, local dishes and beautiful scenery... most importantly... fun!!
Myself and Elsa Santos will be hosting this small group. Elsa has culinary experience and is from the island, so our group will have great access to local culture/history. I have been traveling full time and creating itineraries for the last decade, so with both of our expertise it's sure to be a memorable island excursion!!
