Travel Guide Grand Pico

If you're an adventurer looking for a thrill, this is the excursion for you. In fact, many people come to Fogo specifically for the experience of climbing Pico. This is the highest point in the archipelago, a volcano rising 2,829 m above sea level. The level of this climb is more difficult than Petit Pico. The climb can be a challenge, and good physical condition is essential, so it's best to be accompanied by a competent guide. You'll be in for a real treat: a sight that's probably unique in the world, absolute silence disturbed only by the wind... and a particularly fun descent over the black ashes.
