5Summit
Amateur friendly, not to expensive, the guide take her/his time to explain the mountain as you climb it
5A great hike for...
A great hike for adventure folks - be warned though. It’s not an easy hike 🥾 The sunrise is so rewarding and we had a great guide (Isabel)!
5Pico night climb
Night climb is preferable to dayclimb - sunrise at the peak of Pico is worth it!! Steam from the volcano helps you stay warm until the sun has risen :-)
5Best climb ever with Justin!
I climbed Pico with Justin, who is the most lovely soul and for sure will transfer on you the joy and wonderful stories! All in safe space, while considering tempo and fitness level of all members of the group. To say that I highly recommend seems like not enough!
5Unforgettable Sunrise Hike with an Amazing Guide!
I had an incredible experience with Go Climb Pico Azores! Due to strong winds and cloudy weather over the past few days, we had to reschedule our hike, and I’m so glad we did. The night we went was crystal clear—we could see the entire island and a stunning sky full of stars. It was much colder than I expected, and I unfortunately forgot my gloves and scarf. Our guide, Raisa, was professional, cheerful, and incredibly well-prepared; she kindly lent me the extra gear I needed. While the climb was tougher than I imagined, hiking at night was much more pleasant than during the day because of the cool air and the beautiful night views. Raisa kept the team’s spirit high and encouraged us to push through so we could reach the summit right on time. The sunrise was absolutely spectacular—truly once-in-a-lifetime! This trip was worth every bit of effort. Highly recommended!

About Pico
Pico is an island in the Azores dominated by Mount Pico, Portugal's highest mountain, with black-lava vineyards, whale-watching coasts and lava caves.
Pico, in the central group of the Azores in the mid-Atlantic, is shaped like a long ridge topped by a volcanic cone, Mount Pico, which at 2,351 metres is the highest point in Portugal. The island's black basalt coast is cut with natural pools and small harbours, and the main towns are Madalena, São Roque do Pico and Lajes do Pico. The cone is often wreathed in cloud.
