The best places on earth to Travel - AZORES - by FORBES

Take a trip someplace that's unlike any other on Earth.
A big part of travel is that feeling you get when experiencing something completely new, something you haven't seen or done before. Many travel destinations offer an amenity or two that other places don't -- but there are only a few locations in the world that offer a truly unique experience.
Some of these places are wonders of nature -- a spot where the flora or fauna can't be found elsewhere, or where the mountains stretch the landscape to impressive formations. Other destinations are unique because of man-made features -- entire islands created out of sand, underwater museums designed to decay, or hotels shaved from ice.
Hot or cold, undeveloped or overly elaborate, these locations offer something you can't get anywhere else, which is as good a reason as any to plan a trip.

The Azores

Explore the dramatic natural beauty and bounty of crater lakes in this collection of nine volcanic islands in the middle of the North Atlantic. Portuguese by language, it has a culture and cuisine all its own. Feast on the geothermally heated hotpots called cozido das furnas, which consist of mixtures of meats and stews and are a feature of the area near Sao Miguel.

  1. This blog is a great idea. Have you visited Azores Nation yet? I'd love for you to become a contributor there. And hopefully the Citizens of the Azores Nation will also follow your blog in return.
