Pico de Sao Tome, Monteforte

We just wanted to warn everyone, that climbing Pico de São Tomé is extremely DANGEROUS UNDER WET CONDITIONS. You will find guides that bring you up there at any time of the year, so it is your responsibility to check. We had multiple, very dangerous situations on our hike due to bad weather, you cannot even imagine (Sept.21') The hike is very long and strenuous. If you just want to watch animals and plants, you might want to do a different tour.

It's beautiful in the rainforest, quiet away from the crowds, I was alone with a guide, the view was a bit foggy. But I also pretty much reached my limits, a 12-hour day tour is tough, mainly because of the climate and not enough fluids were organized (I was then without water for about 5 hours and especially on the descent, you always have to be on your guard, you can never really rest) not recommended for the inexperienced.
