Flores is primitive nature gone wild. This
is in evidence from the peakes and hills which sweep steeply down
towards the coast. From the blue mirrors of its seven lakes which shine
like faded jewels out of the enveloping green. From the constant murmur
of waterfalls cascading down from the top of the slopes towards the sea.
And, above all, the rainbow of colours sprinkling the entire island whit
all maner of hues.
Refreshing
holidays
The beauty
of the landscape of Flores beckons you to take a stroll trough its
flowering hydragea bushes which cover the entire island in a vibrant
blue hue. There is so much to see and apreciate: from the liquid mirror
of the lakes at the foot of the viridescent volcanic craters to the
gigantic basaltic prisms of Rocha dos Bordões. From the horizons where
earth meets sea, to the sweet melody of the birds and the wide variety
of flora.
Diving into an ocean teeming with fish set between multi-coloured
cliffs, trout-fishing in the island´s streams or taking a swin in the
pools dug out of the lava by the are only some of the ways to add life
and colour to your holiday.
