Review:
Standing majestically at 2,351 meters, the Montanha do Pico is the highest point in all of Portugal and is situated on the lovely Pico Island.
The Montanha do Pico is classified as a basaltic stratovolcano and was declared a nature reserve in 1982 because of its spectacular beauty and wildlife. With a summit that often disappears into the clouds, the Montanha do Pico is a great place to visit for a challenging but feasible hike.
Hikers will start their adventure at the visitor’s center before following a route that is marked by wooden poles. For those who make it to the stratovolcano’s summit, they’ll be treated to a remarkable view of the Faial, Graciosa, São Jorge and Terceria Islands.
