    Wow...Portugal ....that sound your summer vacation has started. haha
    I was told from my close friend that I could love it for kayaking. Now you are representing the highest summit.
    A lot of information beforehand will be appreciated. I like the safety regulations considering your destination.
    Yes, I notice...you call Lava Rock? Remarkable formation.
    You two do not look tired even though the air gets thin on the steep uphill. hahah Definitely challenging..
    Now here it is...your reward...I am speechless...I feel like I am on the airplane looking down...wow you are above the clouds...
    I wish you could spend more time, but I know you had limited time..
    .No way..hahha no good for PPL with acrophobia 17:39 hahahah
    I am sure you enjoy your unforgettable triumphs Well done. I thank you for letting me have this experience.
    Look forward to next one

      Hi Ms. Kayak7seas.
      I have to say that I consider the safety requirements a bit too strict. If you spent some time in the mountains, these restrictions are more a hassle than a benefit. But I can see how it helps keeping people from hurting themselves. It is surprising how many people we saw in sneakers, given the painful experience one will have walking on sharp volcanic rock for a day without good shoes.
      The mountain is a still active volcano, so the rock is sharp and will reallz hurt aftera while without thick soles beneath your feat.
      The ascend was hard, given the timelimit that we had imposed on us based on the start and arrival times, but it was still possible. I can guarantee that we have both been exhausted a bit. Being above the clouds always feels special and the view from up top is incredible.
      It is not the same kind of achievement as standing on top of Africa, but a great one day trip and we were glad we did manage to book a spot on a great day.

    How beautiful to climb above the clouds. I agree that going down is harder than going up. The features of the volcano are so cool. Wonderful views up there 😊

      We really loved the steam on top. It was so unusual to climb all this way and then find these steam-vents all over the top. Thank you for watching.

    OMGoodness how beautiful. You've taken me to even greater heights and sights. The views were amazing and your endurance formidable. Most impressive to watch. Thank you. 👌🇳🇱🙋‍♀🥝

      Thank you. It was a hard climb, but worth every step. We didn't know that we could return our GPS later than the closing time of the hut, so it was even more stressful, trying to make it on time. But at least we got to enjoy some pastry as a reward after.

    Just loved the wall of cloud as you were climbing. Stunning inversion. It’s always such a special feeling being above clouds on a mountain. I’d love one as good as that! Brilliant 😊

      Thank you Yasmin ☺️. We had a few places with inversions as beautiful as this. I can recommend Tenerife, if you want to find yourself an almost guaranteed one. The clouds always gathered around El Teide, and a picture like this is almost a daily sight.

    Fascinating terrain and flora. I guess those big holes/caves are vents from the volcano? Some great clips with the cloud below Good advice on equipment and clothing which applies to any summer mountain hiking 👍 Thanks for sharing your adventure guys 🙋‍♂🐶

      Yes, the volcanic nature can be seen everywhere. On the top it feels a bit unnerving to have sulfuric steam coming from the ground, but the experience was so unique. Thank you for watching 😊

    It’s stunning and beautiful 😍. It’s reminds me this place but it’s too sad I did not been this highest point. Hiking is little bit hard for me. Thank you 🙏🏻 for sharing to us. The tips is really appreciated. Amazing and fantastic views. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪.

      The trail is indeed difficult if hiking is hard for you. We do go on hikes regularily here in Switzerland, yet it ended up challenging in parts. The ascend is really steep, so we had to push ourselves a lot. How did you enjoy the island, when you visited?
