Here Be Barr i've done it twice already, my first climb at 5am we had clear skies, beautiful view of stars and of the surronding 4 islands! 2nd climb at 4pm we caught a storm, was a huge fight just to keep my tent on the ground, and started our descent as soon as the sun made its fade appearence.. did you went to 'Gruta das Torres' (cave system)? What about the lagoons? (Where are fresh drinking water comes from)

Here Be Barr: You've got to be kidding. A three legged billy goat could easily reach the summit on Pico in a couple of hours with one leg tied behind its ass. I lived on Terceira Island, 72-74 while stationed at Lajes Field. When I wasn't exploring caldera's, volcano vents, caves & lava tubes, we'd sail to other islands to go diving. Pico & Faial were my favorites. Hiked to the crater atop Pico several times. Great view when it wasn't socked in & there was usually snow at the top. Back then there were NO guides. Just head to the top. There was no real "climbing" to it, just a good hike. Geezz... tend to get dramatic much do ya?

I agree !! Thanks my friend.

I’ve climbed this mountain several times. If you are in decent shape it’s totally doable and totally worth it! The view never gets old. No guide is needed, be deliberate where you step, bring a .litre of water, a snack, and at minimum, athletic shoes. That final peak with in the crater has steam coming from vents and cracks between the rocks which is an eerie reminder that it’s active on a geological scale.

Whow, that was a magical hike. That company seems very professional and they know how to treat you after such an experience. Just for that massage I would climb mount Pico!

Hahahah, I like that .. Do it for the massage.. I was doing it for the beer at the end more than the massage. But that helped !

Thank you for posting this. Don't let the billy goats rain on your parade -- it is an accomplishment for anyone not accustomed to doing it. People have died on that mountain, regardless. I climbed in 2013. It was 7hrs up and 4hrs down. I was the 2nd oldest person in the group (at 47). The oldest was the actual tour guide, Noel -- he was 64 and grew up in the French Alps, lived on Pico and climbed the mountain 5 or 6 times every week for 20 years..... I remember climbing the Pico Pequenho in the crater and feeling a steam vent on my leg. This volcano is not extinct, not by long shot!

I did this hike back in 1986 when I was 16 and despite having rubber legs the following day, it was the most rewarding thing I have ever done. Although I would not attempt it now, that experience of watching the sun come up from above the clouds was surreal and so worth it. My motherland... I miss it! Greetings from Toronto, Canada.

My congratulations for having climbed Pico. I was 3 times in Pico but the weather didn't allow me to. 1st time too foggy, 2nd time too rainy, 3rd time it was covered with snow. However Pico's my favourite island in the Azores, but I still have to go to Flores and Corvo, the most western ones. One day I'll do it. Greetings from Lisbon.

Guys, you were way more prepared than us. We are a family of 4 (2 kids aged 6 and 9) and we went without a guide. We played games and sang all the way to forget about tiredness and we made it. Took us 9 hours the whole climb (up and down) and it was amazing. The last climb to Piquinho was made by me and my son and it was an amazing feeling. The bonding, feeling so proud... really intense. We made a video about our trip to Pico. It is here on youtube so check it out if you want. I also have to upload our raw footage of the last summit. It is long, but I really love to see it every time I can.

There is a group based in Faial called Azores Trail Run. They do Ultra Marathons. They include an ascent of Pico from the Vineyards to the crater rim (not from the Casa da Montanha, but from sealevel) called the Vertical Kilometre. And they RUN that......

We decided to climb mount Pico after watching your vlog. Nuno is a really nice guide. He told us that we are the first Chinese people hiking to the top (as far as he knows...).

i was on the top last year but had no massage;( anyway: açores are simply paradise in the middle of the ocean.... my favorite is flores and corvo...

On your next stay in Pico (I don’t know if you knew), there’s a wonderful collection of homes for rent in Sao Roque made of the volcanic rock so prevalent on the island. In March, when I was just there, they rented for under $40 a night. Aldeia Das Adegas, São Roque do Pico, Portugal Worth the stay!! As well as a visit to the modest Restaurante Montanha just down the road for their fantastic octopus salad.

Oh yeah...I live there!

Wow!

I went on holiday to the azores and every day was sunny and clear apart from the day we climbed pico, it was very misty so we didn't get a view from the top, and it was so misty that we thought we were at the summit but we were at the other side of the crater

Dude, there is a small souvenir shop less than half-way to the top that sells t-shirts labeled 'I climbed Pico'. 20 Euros. I have one. Bought it, turned around and went back. Was not that bad. :). In fairness it was raining like there is not tomorrow and I was wearing sandals. And I bought that t-shirt because I was all wet.

Pico is a volcano that is sleeping for 300 years now and its the third biggest volcano in the Atlantic Ocean and the highest point of Portugal.

Love the video. And the music! Watched São Jorge video then this. What altitude did the hike start at? I know roads go part way up.

I grew up in S.E. New England and we loved to go camping and hiking in the White Mountains...we thought that the mighty Mt. Washington was a hell of a clime...but let's compare...to hike Mt Washington it's base entrance is already at an elevation of 4,280 ft...you only have to hike 2,008 ft to reach the summit of 6,280. While on the other hand Pico's base camp is only a few hundred ft above sea level...and the summit is 1,433 ft above that of Mt. Washington...chew on that for a while

Oh my god ! It seems amazing, I can’t wait for mine any longer but that are the surprises? 😁 Will there be any stops for pictures? I am afraid I might slow people down for stopping for pictures 😐

Don't know if you're planning to stop at Graciosa Island (2nd smallest in the Azores), but it is famous for scuba diving and underwater photography (experts say it's the best spot in the Azores for that).Just thought I'd let you know (being a native Azorean).

The last time I went to the Azores, I looked out the plane's window, and I looked down, and the only thing I could see was Pico's mountain sticking up, out of the clouds. In the winter, Pico's peak, is covered in snow, which looks nice. Keep up the good work! You guys are doing a fantastic job!

I live in the neighboring island called Faial, I have never climbed it and I hope I do someday.
