El archipiélago de las Azores es una región autónoma de Portugal formada por nueve islas de origen volcánico que se sitúan en el Océano Atlántico, a unos 1.600 Km.
La isla más sureña de las Azores y cercana a Europa es considerada por los geólogos la más antigua del archipiélago y la única que no fue originada por antiguas erupciones volcánicas.
Situadas en medio del Atlántico, las Azores son una combinación de naturaleza exuberante y volcanes extinguidos.
