The eponymous mountain is 2351 meters high - he is fortunately an ever smoking volcano, meaning it is not an intrinsic pressure and puts the risk of an imminent eruption. The Pico is one of the most symmetrical volcanoes in the world. If you consider that the Pico rises from a sea depth of 5000 meters, it is clear that he is also one of the highest mountains on earth.

The island is Pico Faial and Sao Jorge, an archipelago, which in good weather almost every day in less than an hour be reached by ferry. This is a unique advantage in the Azores. It is very important for the holiday, as it can go hike so three islands and, through the pack without changing island holidays with, to move loses and wait on the island of the respective airports.
