Is Sao Miguel worth visiting?
Solo travel
Island of São Miguel in Azores is the perfect place for a first solo travel! It’s absolutely safe and there is a lot of nature so you have the space and privacy to explore by yourself. The island is small so you can easily get around and there is a lot to do! Hot springs, whale watching, hikes, amazing landscapes and food I considered it very cheap. I spend 650€ for a week there including the flight, hostel, food, activities and the car rental (the most expensive part because I got full insurance, if not it would have been much cheaper). I recommend going to Sete Cidades, Gorreana Plantation, Parque Terra Nostra, Poça Dona Beja, Caldeira Velha between many stops along the way to find many “Easter eggs” 😊 P.s. I also recommend going to sete cidades in the first day just in case you can’t see the lakes, so that you might have the chance to go back there some other time
