Description

What’s more exciting than inside the crater of a volcano? Not much! Come on this overnight hike with me, or another experienced guide from Tripix Azores, and you’ll do exactly that.

On this overnight hike on Mount Pico, we’ll set off in the evening as the sun is beginning to dip in the sky. We’ll be able to enjoy the fantastic sunset as we ascend and watch the different colours of the sky.

We’ll spend the night camping in the volcano crater. From there, we’ll look up to the unobstructed sky and take in all the stars and constellations.

The next day, we’ll rise nice and early so that we can enjoy an impressive sunrise from the summit. It really feels like being on top of the world up there.

In total, this trip lasts around 20 hours, and you’ll be all finished by around midday the following day.

Request to book this unmissable experience, and you’ll be gazing up at the stars soon.

If you are looking for a shorter trip then you should check out my day trip to Mount Pico.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
