The Azores are home to a rich and diverse wildlife, with birds standing out as some of the region’s most emblematic species. Among the most notable are the Azores bullfinch (priôlo), an endemic species found on São Miguel Island, as well as the buzzard, blackbird, Cory’s shearwater, wood pigeon, and the elegant common and roseate terns.
Beyond birdlife, the surrounding Atlantic Ocean reveals remarkable marine biodiversity. With hundreds of fish and mollusk species, along with the frequent presence of large whales and dolphins, the sea becomes a true natural aquarium.
These natural characteristics make the archipelago a privileged destination for birdwatching, diving, and marine wildlife exploration, offering unique experiences in close contact with nature.
