Summary:
I had a perfect day climbing mount Pico with Raissa as our guide. She was very motivating, kept our spirits up and I learned from her technique, making the climb much easier. I also got great tips for getting to casa montinho from Joana and the pictures from the day were great. I would definitely recommend GoClimb for hiking mount Pico!
