Climbing Pico mountain: Sunrise

Climb the Pico volcano is challenging, climb during the evening gloom is even more! Armed with flashlights, the ascending is done during the dawn, with the reward of a fullness feeling when we see the first rays of the sun coloring the horizon over the ocean. The Night Climb starts at the middle of the night to see the sunrise.
