Trekking and walks

Discover the hidden beauties of Pico island at your own pace. Let us take you to special places, whether historic in nature or just naturally beautiful.

Use our marked maps to explore old monuments, churches, historic locations, villages, breathtaking landscapes and some remote trails, used by the first settlers. All of this is there waiting for you.

Never leave without a camera – photo opportunities abound.

From high places, enjoy the beautiful green meadows and farming lands, contrasted with the deep blue of the ocean. Notice how the little white villages are “sprayed” on the green hillsides.

Take time to enjoy, not only the local handicrafts and folklore, but also the unique gastronomy of the region.

All these trails will be handed free to our guests, as a hotel courtesy.

If you prefer to venture further, chose our guided trekking circuits, the perfect way to explore our island, it's history and culture, immersed in the exhuberant scenarios:
