Guidekin's take

Transport and a briefing for a self guided sunrise at Pico do Arieiro, a stretch of the ridge trail and the quieter Vereda do Burro after, with pickup at your accommodation.

There is no guide on the trail, water and meals are on you, and the trail permit is booked separately. 4.89 from 47 reviews at €30 per person.
