Description

Come with me, or one of our guides at Tripix Azores, on an adventure-filled day hike to the top of Mount Pico in the Azores.

At 2351 metres, Mount Pico is the highest mountain in Portugal. This makes climbing it quite the achievement.

On this trip, we’ll start at around 8 am to make as much of the day as possible. The trip will last for around 7 hours, finishing at 3 pm.

The hike will be physically demanding in parts, however, along the way, you’ll be able to take in breathtaking sights.

We’ll be on hand at every step of the way to point out places of interest and give you information about the area. From the history of the Pico Islands to information about the volcano’s biodiversity, we’ll be here to tell you all about this special place**.** We’ll also be there to make sure your safety is taken care of at all times.

This is one experience you do not want to miss. Request to book now, and I’ll be seeing you soon.

Plus, be sure to check out my profile to learn about the other awesome experiences I offer here in the Azores.
