Breathe in Pico — Hike & Meditation

Easy hike through Monte and Criação Velha, with views over Pico, vineyards, Lajido, and guided meditation. It ends with a picnic and the option to swim at Laja das Rosas.
In this experience, participants are invited to discover the Monte area in Madalena via an easy, accessible hiking trail designed to be enjoyed at a leisurely pace. Although it is a simple trail, the entire route is done on foot, allowing you to truly feel the landscape, the silence, and the natural energy of Pico Island.

Throughout the hike, breathtaking landscapes of the mountain, the sea, and the surrounding nature appear, creating the perfect setting for an experience of well-being, presence, and connection to the land.

After the Monte area, we continue towards the Criação Velha trails, crossing the landscape of the vineyard, which is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Along the way, we also visit the iconic Moinho da Criação Velha, one of the most photographed places on the island, surrounded by vineyards, volcanic rock, and unique views.

The experience continues by the sea, at the Lajido da Criação Velha, where you can see the oxcart tracks marked on the ground – ancient vestiges of the passage of oxcarts – and learn a little about the history and traditional life linked to the vineyard, the volcanic rock, and the culture of Pico.

In this special environment, next to the lajido, the stones, and nature, a guided meditation of about 20 minutes will be held, designed to promote relaxation, presence, and deep contact with the place.

To finish, participants will be able to enjoy an outdoor picnic, surrounded by the tranquility of the landscape, in a simple, authentic, and memorable moment.

Optionally, and whenever sea conditions allow, guests can also take the opportunity to swim in the Laja das Rosas area, a natural spot by the sea, perfect for cooling off and ending the experience in direct contact with nature.
