Discover Pico Island through an immersive trail running experience that blends movement, landscape, and local character. This route links Santana, Lajido, and Santa Luzia, following a network of coastal paths, rural tracks, and vineyard areas that reveal the island’s volcanic origins and Atlantic setting.
Running along this stretch of Pico means moving between the ocean and the land shaped by lava, vines, and centuries of human adaptation. Sections of the route pass through traditional vineyard landscapes, stone walls, and quiet villages, offering constant visual variety and a strong sense of place. The Atlantic Ocean is a near-constant presence, opening wide horizons and bringing fresh air to the run.
This trail running tour is designed to be accessible and enjoyable, combining running and walking whenever needed. As a private experience, the pace is fully adapted to you, allowing space for performance, observation, breathing, and a genuine connection with the landscape. Along the way, our guide shares insights into Pico’s natural environment, wine culture, and daily life, adding depth to the physical experience.
This experience is ideal for runners who enjoy natural trails and want to explore Pico in an active yet relaxed way, without technical difficulty or pressure.
