Hike from Pico do Arieiro to Pico Ruivo – Exclusive Experience after Lunch

Explore the heart of Madeira's central mountain range on a unique trek between Pico do Arieiro and Pico Ruivo, at an elevation of 6,107 feet (1,862 metres). By departing after lunch, you will encounter fewer tourists and avoid the large groups seen in the morning, ensuring a more tranquil and immersive experience.

During the hike, you will:
• Get panoramic views of the valleys and mountain peaks in the centre of the island
• Visit the famous Ninho da Manta viewpoint
• See the iconic “Stairway to Heaven”
• Observe the local fauna and flora, which are ever-present along the way

This is a challenging hike that requires good physical condition, but it rewards participants with spectacular views and unique moments in Madeira's natural environment.

At the end of the hike, a shuttle will be waiting for us, with a brief stop in Santana to admire the traditional houses typical of the region.

An exclusive trek, perfect for those seeking adventure, connection with nature, and breathtaking landscapes.
