Geotourism in the Azores: the volcanic origin of the Azores archipelago boasts 1766 volcanoes, nine of which are still active. This particular origin creates a landscape made of drained calderas around green-covered mouths, thermal springs, lakes that occupy the place of ancient craters, fumarole fields and underwater geothermal sources. A unique panorama.
