Spectacular climb up to the crater rim of Pico do Fogo at 2770 meters. The actual summit is considered brittle and is not climbed on the guided tours. Officially, however, the crater rim is considered an ascent of the Pico do Fogo.

The ascent of this picture-perfect volcano is highly recommended for those in good physical condition from guided tours. Above all, the view of the Caldeira is fantastic. The descent over ash fields is fun (more of a slide).

Sublime hike. The trace matches perfectly. Take a guide, it’s really important for them and to protect the natural park. In addition you will have the history of the Caldera. The ascent of the pico is now equipped with a via ferratta but remains impressive for those who are not used to climbing. Be careful, the beginning of the descent is a more dangerous part because there are a lot of unstable stones that can roll down on people below and the path is not very clear.
