Sport & Adventure
The island provides ideal conditions for sports and adventure. Pico is without a doubt an excellent option if you enjoy adrenaline!
Stop imagining...
The hiking trails are a great way to discover the extensive lava fields known locally as “lajidos,” meaning slab stone, or “terras de biscoito,” meaning biscuit lands, due to its shape, as well as the vineyard corrals and “maroiços,” pyramid-like agricultural structures.
Climbing Pico Mountain can be an unforgettable and challenging experience for the more daring. With 2,351 metres of elevation, Portugal’s highest mountain provides one of the most spectacular views in the Azores.
… and start living!
Rappelling and speleology are excellent options to explore the island’s subterranean beauty, which includes stalactites, volcanic cones, caves, and lava tubes, as well as the adrenaline rush of rappelling down an ancient waterfall. These are activities that must be done with the utmost safety, which is why it is best to do them with a specialized company.
