About this Experience:

Dive into the details and see what makes this experience truly unique.

The overnight ascent to Pico Mountain is a blend of unforgettable emotions and sensations. Enjoy a magnificent sunset from Portugal’s highest point, set in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, and gaze at a stunning starry sky inside a crater at 2,300 meters altitude. The next day, you’ll have the chance to witness a unique sunrise from the summit of this dormant volcano – truly the best gift one can experience when visiting the Azores.
