Many off-the-beaten-track highlights are provided to help explorers discover the hidden treasures of this magical archipelago, from beautiful bays with whaling history and beaches teeming with turtles to botanical gardens and cobbled paths leading to summits high above sea level.Features &gt;How to get there, where to stay, and specialty restaurants&gt;Local culture, including music, customs, and history&gt;Detailed hiking routes for all levels of experience&gt;Maps and town plans of key areas of the islands
