Steffi is the best guide you will finde on... read more Pico and I would definitely recomend to do the nightclimbe with her! And not only because she could answer every of my questions (I had a lot 🙂 ).

A few weeks ago we went on a day trip climbing Mount Pico. We were lucky to be guided by Steffi from Hominis Natura. Steffi is a very professional, trustworthy... read more and helpful guide. Thanks to her advice we came well prepared for a climb with all different weather conditions and made it to the top. As Belgian tourists it was very nice to have a Dutch-speaking guide.
We highly recommend our guide Steffi. You don't have to be afraid to take the trip if you follow her instructions carefully.
Thank you Steffi for the unforgettable day!

Between January and May, Steffi and Nilton took through the most wonderful walks around Pico Island. They organized every single walk with so much care and attention. I was very... read more specific about the hours I can walk ( no more than 5 hours), about the timing, ( I prefer the afternoons), etc, etc.
Each walk was handmade for me and each walk was absolutely perfect. When Steffi saw that I was getting very tired, she would ask us to stop, always in the most beautiful space, and gave me the most delicious lemonade and the most marvellous buiscuits made by her, that gave me the energy to keep on going. I hope to resume the walks at the end of October.

My husband really wanted to do this hike, and tbh it was probably a little beyond my comfort zone and abilities. Nilson took great care to guide us, ensure my... read more safety and make sure I completed the climb. He was very patient! We had absolutely perfect conditions and I am proud I completed the hike. Thank you Nilson! A great day with a great guide. Highly recommend Hominis Natura to guide you on Pico!

My girlfriend and I had the great opportunity to do a private overnight climb on Mount Pico together with our guide Steffi.
It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience spending... read more the night in a volcanic crater and seeing both sunset and sunrise at the summit, in the middle of the Atlantic.
The hike up and down isn't easy, but at the top, your effort is more than rewarded.
Steffi from Hominis Natura was a fabulous and considerate guide as well as being a great and helpful host to us.
Anyone who has the chance to climb Mount Pico together with Steffi or her husband Nilton should take the opportunity.
In any case, we can highly recommend it and will certainly never forget our night on the volcano.
Thanks a lot, Steffi!

We contacted Steffi and ask here if she could organise us a tailor made day trip off Pico island.
And yes indeed she did.
We had a amazing and unforgettable... read more day on the island.
We visited the caves, lagoon, climb the mountain....
Steffi is a passionate and attentive tour guide.
We had great conversations with here and although she is not a native from the island, she know quite a lot of it.
We thank you Steffi for this amazing day, and when we'll come back we will definitely book you again for new adventure

A friend of mine, who lives on Pico island, recommended to me to do activities with Hominis Natura. I really, trully , enjoyed it. They are very arranging, well equiped,... read more careful about the weather conditions and very attentive to the people hiking with them (physical condition, gear, ...).
I did 2 activities : Climbing Pico and a Cave Tour.
Climbing Pico can be very tough for most of us and as much as it was impressive, i always felt secured. They really care and adapt their pace to the people. I also went down some amazing caves, Lava tunnels created during volcanic erruptions and it was mind blowing. Again here, i felt priviledge to be guided by someone so careful, and very knowledgeable.
Price wise, i think it was totally worth it and not expensive compared to other organizations.
I really recommend Hominis Natura, you won't be disapointed !

Climbing Pico was on my wife's tdo list, but not all guides will take you up in February. Fortunately for us Steffi and Nilton offer climbs at this time of... read more the year. On the day of the climb my wife had stomach issues but decided to try anyway. We were about 20 minutes into the climb when my wife decided she could not continue. (Turns out she had mild food poisoning.) Milton took her back down to the station and made sure she was well enough to drive back to the hotel. Steffi took the rest of us (two of us in all) to the top. The Katabatic winds racing down the slope were phenomenal and made the climb more challenging. We reached the summit of Piquino in under 3 hours and lunched on the lee side with the thermal vents offering us some heat. The trip down was a little more challenging since I had injured my lateral collateral ligament while snowboarding making each step a new adventure in pain, but nothing you can do except grin and bear it. We made it down in just over two hours. Since I had now way to get back, Nilton and Steffi gave me a ride back to the hotel for which I was very grateful. It was overall an excellent adventure and Steffi and Milton are excellent guides. It is a technically challenging climb and you don’t want to fall because falling on lava rock will hurt badly so bring good boots. Thanks Steffi and Nilton for a great climb.

We had a great time going all the way to the top of Pico - even though the climb is hard, specially on the way down! Steffi was super helpful... read more from the start - we initally booked a night climb, but due to the strike with the ferry boats, we had to change it to a day climb. No problem! We met the dat after around 8.30 at Casa da Montanha (all hikers need to register there) and Steffi was waiting for us with extra gear - which basically saved us during the climb
The climb itself was very beautiful - Steffi always made sure we were feeling well, had enough water and were comfortable continuing (the weather was not the best on that day). She explained us the landscape and told us funny stories about previous hikes 🙂 time flew by and when we noticed we could already see the top of the mountain. The last part you have to do proper climbing, but don't worry as Steffi will help you all the way. The view at the top is very beautiful (although it was quite cloudy, if you have lots of time in Azores - try to be flexible to get the best day to go all the way up). We had lunch at the top and Steffi had warm coffee with her - which was the best treat in the cold weather 🙂
The way down is a bit harder, you're feeling more tired, but it's equally beautiful.
Thank you Steffi for taking us safely all the way to the top, all the amazing Açores tips and most of all for your good energy 🙂
Now we want to do it again, in a full blue sky day
