Pico Island: Things to Do
On Pico you can combine the volcanic vineyard landscape with the coast. If you want to climb the mountain, give it a day of its own and check conditions with the body that manages access.
From the vineyards to Lajes do Pico
The volcanic stone walls are part of the vineyard landscape. Lajes do Pico is another starting point if you want to build your trip around the island's relationship with the sea.
Plan the mountain separately
Use the official trail portal to find routes on Pico, and confirm the mountain's guidance before counting on the ascent.
