Description

The sun rises over your hotel as you set out on your walking tour adventure. Leaving from the comforts of your room in Funchal on the Madeira Islands, we’ll drive you up to the third highest peak in Madeira – the magnificent Pico Arieiro.

You’ll sip coffee or a drink on your way up to the base of the peak, looking out at all the stunning beauty this place has to offer. As we head from sea level up to the base at 5,964ft (1818m), you’ll pass beautiful flora and fauna. Finally, we’ll begin our mighty walk up the mighty Pico Arieiro up to the highest point on the island, the Pico Ruivo peak at 6107 ft (1862m). Finally, we’ll walk down to Teixeira where you’ll be comfortably transferred back to your hotel.

And of course, no day of hiking is complete without a drink at a traditional bar, so we’ll make sure to stop at one with a spectacular view to enjoy the closing of your day!

Stunning hike
We were lucky and had some great weather so the views were stunning throughout. I would recommend doing this hike with a guide (although you can easily do so without) as it meant that the group was provided with lots of info about the local flora and the route itself, plus being dropped off/picked up was super convenient! I would recommend this hike for people of moderate fitness and up as there are some very steep sections that took their toll!
