Fodor's Expert Review Pico Baltimore

Moderate to difficult, two days, two guides. A slightly easier option than the Pico Dama hike, this trip starts in Las Marías with a five-to-seven-hour trek through primary and secondary forest, affording a long window of time to spot rare birds and endangered wildlife. Spend the night at a rustic cabin near the mountain's base, and rise early the second day to make the steep two-hour climb to the summit. Enjoy the stunning views of Laguna de Ibans and the Caribbean, then head back down to Las Marías.
