Discover the Azores through a journey that blends cultural depth, natural beauty, and meaningful connection. Curated exclusively for the World Affairs Council of Kentucky & Southern Indiana, this Signature Destination invites you to explore the lush landscapes of São Miguel and the rich heritage of Terceira Island—from volcanic coastlines and crater lakes to UNESCO-listed cities and vibrant local traditions—all while traveling alongside a small group of globally minded peers. From immersive culinary experiences and coastal explorations to guided tours with expert local hosts, every detail is thoughtfully designed so you can focus on the experience, not the logistics.
Space is highly limited to preserve the intimacy and quality of the experience. Once filled, registration will close.
Traveling with WAC means more than just a trip—it’s an extension of our mission. You’ll gain deeper context through a pre-trip briefing, connect with fellow members, and directly support WAC’s programming, education, and community engagement through your participation.
This is more than travel—it’s a shared global experience with purpose.
