The Route: A hilly, weeklong, 204-mile ride on S茫o Miguel Island along hydrangea-lined roads. The route winds past fishing villages and vineyards and around crater lakes and hot springs.

When to go: July to September

Difficulty: Moderate

Travel advisory: The Azores are surprisingly easy to reach; TAP Air Portugal flies nonstop from Boston in four hours for a deeply discounted fare through Easy Rider, and doesn’t charge an excess-baggage fee for your bicycle.

High/low points:

  • After a tough 41-mile day, showering in a thermal waterfall near Ribiera Grande.
  • Hearing your Portuguese guide incessantly sing Queen’s “Bicycle Race.”
