I spent a week in the Azores ( São Miguel ) with a DJI Mavic Pro 2 and created this excellent trip reel as a record. The video includes footage from the following spots: Faro do Arnel, Ilheu da Vila, Salto do Rosal, Salto do Cabrito, Lagoa das Furnas, Castelo Branco, Chá Gorreana, Furnas, Ponta da Madrugada, etc… São Miguel is the largest island in the Açores, and for most visitors, their first introduction to this archipelago in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. It’s a nature-lover’s paradise, full of great trails, pounding waves, and exceptional views, and its volcanic past is clearly visible in the numerous hot springs (and unusual cooking techniques of some of the locals!) There’s more to see there than you might expect, but São Miguel’s well-paved roads and relatively low numbers of visitors make it an easy place to explore. We’ve tracked down 12 of the best things to do on the island, from hiking to soaking in thermal pools, relaxing in beautiful gardens to cooling off under waterfalls, and much more.
