With its dramatic coastal scenery and beautiful rural interior, Sao Jorge is a wonderful island to spend a relaxing week. We include a full day guided taxi tour of the island and a guide to take you on the spectacular 3 Fajas walk, probably the best walk in the Azores. The rest of the time, you are free to explore Sao Jorge at your own pace by hire car.
