Overview

This is it! This is the walk that will give you a complete perspective of the beauty of Madeira Island. Rock formations shoot into the sky like timeless statues.

All along this route, the views are breathtaking. A profusion of unique plants make this place their natural habitat. In springtime, these plants proudly dress themselves in a myriad of colours, displaying their fragile flowers for all to see. Near Pico Ruivo we walk through the oldest heather forest existing.

These ancient trees are many hundreds of years old and were already there when Zarco discovered and landed on the island for the first time. We soon arrive at Pico Ruivo (the highest point on the island) and the views from there are out of this world. Truly and as the saying goes, “On a clear day you can see forever”.
