Felipe was just an awesome tour partner. Our family met Felipe at the Madalena ferry terminal to start the tour. We walked into and explored several lava tubes at Hórnitos. Felipe shared a great deal about the history of the formation while progressing. We visited Lagos do Capitão and many other lakes through the day as we moved across Pico. This was so interesting as Felipe discussed the importance of the the lakes to Pico as well as the origins of the lakes. We drove up to Pico da Urze to get a close up view of Pico and the valley around the base. We enjoyed a great lunch at Restaurante Rithinha in Lajes do Pico, and then went up to Topo over Lajes to see the oldest part of Pico, where the island formation began. We visited Cabeço de Misterio where an eruption occurred 500 years ago that created a new part of Pico on the north coastline. This included a drive to a wind turbine farm located adjacent. We visited Lagoa Negra, a beautiful lake surrounded by Japanese Cedar trees. We visited Rosado Lake, a beautiful lake resting well below road level, as well a Lagoa Peixinho surrounded by great landscape. We visited Crateras-Poço, an area of sunken land with the appearance of a crater. We visited many other lakes and volcanic cones along the way.
Felipe took great pride in Pico and was a wonderful guide. Highly recommend this trip! You will love it.

Incredible trip! Filipe was amazing. So knowledgeable and passionate about Pico. You learned about the history and ecology of the island in a fun and interesting way. Absolutely stunning landscape with so much to learn. Also - Filipe does AMAZING watercolor illustrations of local wildlife.
Could not recommend this trip more strongly - please book with Filipe and make sure to ask about those illustrations!

We are so glad that our first day on Pico was spent in the good hands of Felipe. He took us to many beautiful out of the way spots, while teaching us about the history and geology of the island. Lunch was great. We can not recommend this tour more highly!

Wonderful scenery in off the beaten track locations, hosted passionately by Filipe. We felt lucky to experience Pico with someone who clearly loved the island and wanted to share it with us.

Fillipe our tour guide was great. Had a very good lunch, the lava cave was very interesting a little difficult to enter. A very good day.
