Itinerary description
A steep hike on a nice and natural path almost to top of the Pico Grande and back down.
The first part of the trail gets you through groups of chestnuts and eukalyptus trees offering a beautiful view into the valley. We made a short breakout as you can see in the map to have a better view. If you don't want to do that skip it.
The second part goes around the top of the Pico Grande with breathtaking view over the big mountains and the ocean. If you want to you can add a very difficult climb to the very top of the mointain which adds another 300m in high.
