Ocean began to appear, in the process of separating the continents, opening from South to North and allowing the famous Atlantic dorsal ridge to emerge. The Azores were born from volcanic eruptions, linked to this evolution, which continues today. In the middle of the 15th century, before Columbus arrived in America and from the Azores, Corte-Real, Joao Fernandes, the farmer, Pedro de Barcelos and others, were there. Born Simao Fernandes in Terceira, participated, in the service of Sir Walter Raleigh, in 1587, in the attempt to install what became known as the Lost Colony of Roanoke.\n<br\/>\n<br\/>\nPeter Francisco, hero of George Washington&#8217;s armies in the wars of independence, was also born on Terceira Island. Episodes of the American Civil War and the arming of the Confederate blockade runners also took place here, in Praia da Vitoria and in Angra. From those adventures until today, to which we can add the American presence at Lajes Air Base and the 1971 and 2003 summits, we can say that there are many reasons to be able to say that, in many ways, North America started here.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c3d2bd9 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-min-height elementor-section-items-top elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c3d2bd9\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;,&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5423bae\" data-id=\"5423bae\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4e34984 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4e34984\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.exploreterceira.com\/en\/planear\/\">Plan your trip<\/a><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2d37fb5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2d37fb5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Welcoming, accessible, safe, with a mild climate, <br> full of legends, traditions and an enviable gastronomic wealth. <br> Plan your trip to this paradisiacal island in the middle of the atlantic<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DISCOVER AZORES EXPLORE TERCEIRA STUNNING LANDSCAPES DISCOVER AZORES EXPLORE TERCEIRA DIVING SPOTS DISCOVER AZORES EXPLORE TERCEIRA VOLCANIC CAVES DISCOVER AZORES EXPLORE TERCEIRA WAVES TO SURF DISCOVER AZORES EXPLORE TERCEIRA WALKING TRAILS DISCOVER AZORES EXPLORE TERCEIRA HORSEBACK RIDING UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TERCEIRA AZORES ISLAND America started here.It&#8217;s time to discover the Azores.
