We pick you up at your hotel before dawn and drive up by jeep to Pico do Arieiro, the island's third-highest peak, to watch the sun rise above the clouds.
After sunrise, the drive down through the mountains can carry on: pick an extra stop and we'll put the route together with you.
Book the sunrise
Bring a jacket and warm layers: it's cold at the top before dawn, even in summer.
