Ponta da Ferraria, one of the rare & magical geothermal hot springs in the ocean where the cold ocean water and hot springs collide.

The cove is therapeutic. You can move closer to the rocks for warmer temps & then near the opening with the sea to get cold temperatures. Go back and for between hot and cold…

We are excited to be heading off to the Azores tonight ahead of the group.

The primary carrier that everyone in our group is flying is United out of Newark. There is one nightly flight that departs at 11:10pm and arrives the next morning to the Azores at 8:40am.

The only other major flight from North America to the Azores is out of Toronto, Canada.

The weather looks good in Newark in the days ahead but at times the airport can have congestion. Please check in early for your flight at your home destination and watch for delays. It would be ideal to have a few hour layover or more in Newark as a cushion.

If your flight is delayed you may have to wait 24 hours for the next flight out of Newark or get a connecting flight to another European city like Lisbon and onward to the Azores.

We are hoping that all of our travelers make it to Newark and onward to the Azores without a hitch.

We are excited to see you at the airport in Sao Miguel!

12 Days to the start of our trip to the Azores!

Exciting news that we will also have an optional trail race for our guests that will be included in your trip!

It is a 15k trail race that is not very technical overall. There is also an option for a 5k or 10k hike with the group instead of the 15k race. The event is on Sunday, June 7th!

We are thrilled to return to Portugal in 2023! Join us for the trip of a lifetime in the Azores. 🇵🇹

Excited to share - registration for the Azores (July 15th to July 21st, 2023) opens at 5pm (Eastern Standard time) today! The Azores are magnificent! Two-thirds of the way across the Atlantic the Azores are relatively isolated, still have a feel of off the beaten trek and are like nowhere else on Earth. We will be offering only one trip to the Azores in 2023. We will have our mainland Portugal trip return in 2024 with Carlos Sa.

Enjoying the Friday morning run with the Monsanto Running Team, (Monsanto is a nice nature preserve nearby Lisbon, not to be confused with the seed corporation). A little birthday celebration. Some of the group are hoping to run with us on Sunday morning in Lisbon.
