Flores Island - Major points of interest
To Flores you don’t come to do architectural or city sightseeing because then you are bound to be disappointed as even the two main towns… or rather bigger villages… Santa Cruz and Lajes… have not much to offer in this respect! But you do come to Flores for its wealth of flowers and plants, for its pleasant aromas, for its captivating landscapes with steep cliffs, bizarre rocks, idyllic crater lakes, deep valleys covered with endemic laurissilva forest, magnificent waterfalls, charming tiny islets, and so much more… For everybody who appreciates beautiful and untouched nature and loves to explore all this preferably by foot, surrounded by divine tranquility… this is a genuine paradise island!
