We had an incredible time hiking to the summit of Mount Pico at sunrise. The views were absolutely breathtaking and well worth the early start. Our guide, Matteo, was fantastic, extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and well-prepared. He made sure we felt safe and comfortable throughout the entire hike, getting us to the top and back without any issues. We highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the Azores!
