What To Expect

Pico Mountain in the Azores is the highest mountain in Portugal - 2351mt - and the third highest volcano in the northern hemisphere of the Atlantic Ocean.

It is a challenging mountaineering activity and a rewarding experience, with a medium / high degree of difficulty depending on the climb option chosen (Daytime - Medium, Nighttime - Medium / High and Overnight - High) with some technical requirements, good preparation and physical coordination.

We strongly recommend this activity to active people, sedentary people will find it more difficult to carry out the activity.
