Hiking week on Madeira

Arrival on Madeira We pick you up at the airport and bring you to your booked hotel. At the meeting we meet for a glass of Madeira wine and discuss the walking week.

After a worthwhile detour to the viewpoint Balcões, from where you have a magnificent view of the mountains of Madeira, it goes back to the Levada do Furado (trout levada). We walk through lush vegetation and dense 'Laurissilva' forest. Blueberry and Erica trees line our way.

Our hike begins above Caniçal and we first walk through barren volcanic landscape with a great view of the eastern cape. Then it goes on the varied coastal path always uphill and downhill, through laurel and fern forest to Port da Cruz.

This alpine summit tour connects the three highest mountains. Rock formations tower into the sky like timeless statues. From Pico Ruivo we have a magnificent panoramic view.

You can drive to Funchal or do one of the many other activities. Try out something you've always wanted to do, such as canyoning, coastering, tandem flying or Stand Up Paddle.

We walk across the Pico da Fajã da Lenha with changing views of the area of Rabaçal or the east side to Chão da Ribeira. In Fanal, over 500 year old stinkberry trees add to a magical fairytale forest. Watch the spectacle of surf on the rugged coast in Porto Moniz and treat yourself to a swim in the natural pools.

The easternmost part of the island of Madeira is a nature park with a fantastic panoramic view. Tuff and basalt shimmer in the sunlight and transform the bizarre rock formations. The reflections and lighting moods created by the sun's rays are a great photo opportunity.

Departure or extension. We take you to the airport and say thank you again that you were our guest.
