Car hire Pico Azores Airport

Pico Airport (PIX) serves the island dominated by the majestic Mount Pico (2,351 m), the highest peak in Portugal and across all the Atlantic islands. Although it is the second largest island of the Azores, Pico is wild and uncrowded, with a unique personality forged by its volcano and the sea.

A rental car at Pico Airport is essential: distances between points of interest are significant and the whole island is best explored by following its coastal roads. On Tino Rent you find the available offers and book with free cancellation — availability on Pico is limited, so it pays to book in advance.

UNESCO vineyards, whales and Mount Pico

The vineyards of Pico are a UNESCO heritage site: a unique landscape of tiny plots enclosed by black basalt lava walls, stretching down to the sea. Pico's Verdelho wine, produced for centuries, was once exported to royal European courts. The vineyard area, on the northwestern coast of the island, is best visited by car along the scenic road between Madalena and São Roque.

Pico is the whale watching capital of the Azores: the cetaceans inhabiting these waters include sperm whales, fin whales, pilot whales and many species of dolphins. Boat tours depart from the harbours of Madalena and Lajes do Pico. Anyone wishing to climb Mount Pico starts at the Centro de Montanha in Madalena; the ascent takes 6-8 hours and must be planned with a certified guide. From the summit plateau, on clear days, you can see all the central island group.

On the southern coast of Pico, the village of Lajes do Pico still preserves the old whaling factory turned into a fascinating museum, while the small port is the departure point for boat tours to Faial. The eastern tip of the island, around Manhenha, offers panoramic viewpoints over the channel that separates Pico from São Jorge.
