Circuit à vélo aux Açores - vacances à vélo à São Miguel
Points forts:
Un tour à vélo dans l'archipel des Açores, élue meilleure destination insulaire au monde par National Geographic, située au milieu de l'océan Atlantique, à mi-chemin entre l'Europe et les États-Unis. Les neuf îles des Açores sont nées de coulées de lave du fond océanique, sur la crête séparant les plaques tectoniques d'Eurasie et d'Amérique du Nord. Son climat subtropical, ses champs verdoyants aux pâturages luxuriants, ses fleurs, sa flore et sa faune endémiques en font une destination idéale pour les passionnés de vélo qui souhaitent se lancer dans une aventure stimulante dans l'une des destinations les plus uniques et pittoresques au monde. En parcourant à vélo l'île de São Miguel, la plus grande et la plus célèbre des Açores, vous roulerez sur des routes goudronnées aux paysages époustouflants et en excellent état, en passant par des volcans éteints, des lagunes, des forêts tropicales, des sources thermales et sulfureuses chaudes, en grimpant jusqu'aux points de vue de Sete Cidades et de Lagoa do Fogo, et en vous relaxant dans les meilleurs hôtels et stations thermales de São Miguel. Parcourez la beauté naturelle préservée de ce « jardin » niché au milieu de l'océan Atlantique. Grimpez au sommet des volcans pour admirer la vue imprenable sur les lagons de Fogo et de Sete Cidades. Cette île regorge d'une végétation verdoyante, d'une flore endémique et de grands mammifères marins, dont certains ne peuvent être observés qu'aux Açores. Parmi eux, on trouve diverses espèces uniques de baleines et une flore qui attire de nombreux zoologistes, biologistes marins et botanistes du monde entier. Découvrez l'incroyable variété de paysages : les plages douces et ensoleillées de la côte sud, les pâturages verdoyants du plateau central, le littoral accidenté du nord, les forêts subtropicales, les sommets volcaniques plus abrupts de Fogo et de Sete Cidades, les sources thermales sulfureuses, les plantations de thé, sans oublier les panoramas alpins à l'intérieur des lagons jumeaux de Sete Cidades. Partez pour une excursion d'observation des baleines, laissez-vous émerveiller par la taille et la majesté des cachalots et des baleines bleues, parcourez les sentiers qui longent les volcans, les lagons et les sources chaudes, entourés par le bleu profond de l'océan et le vert presque fluorescent des pâturages et des zones boisées. Découvrez sa gastronomie emblématique, basée sur les viandes tendres et les ragoûts, les poissons et fruits de mer frais et exceptionnels, abondants dans cette partie de l'océan, ainsi que les vins blancs étonnamment bons, les fromages locaux et les pâtisseries.
