The island of Pico impresses with its Pico Mountain, the highest point in Portugal, and unique volcanic landscapes that invite adventure. With UNESCO World Heritage vineyards, fascinating caves, and natural pools along the coast, Pico offers authentic and unforgettable experiences, perfect for those seeking nature, culture, and Azorean tradition.

Pico Mountain - The highest point in Portugal and the third largest volcano in the Atlantic, with the Piquinho cone offering panoramic views of the neighboring islands. For a unique experience, we recommend staying overnight at the top to catch a glimpse of a fantastic sunset and a magnificent sunrise.

Achada Plateau - A volcanic mountain range about 30 km long with 200 volcanic cones. It is one of the most important places in the Azores in terms of endemic vegetation, with species such as cedar, queiró, sanguinho, and trovisco.

Wineries - Due to the great wine tradition of the island of Pico, their wineries are clearly important for tourism on the island and are often adapted for rural tourism. The Wine Museum in Madalena is in a former mansion of the Carmelite friars and contains tools, stills, and barrels.

Whaling Industry Museum - Located in the former Fábrica de Armações Baleeiras Reunidas (United Whaling Frames Factory) in São Roque, the museum preserves historical equipment from the extinct whaling industry, offering a unique insight into the tradition and heritage of the island of Pico.
