Crossing from Pico do Areeiro to Pico Ruivo – Exclusive Experience After Lunch

Explore the heart of Madeira's central mountain range on a unique crossing between Pico do Areeiro and Pico Ruivo, at an altitude of 1,862 metres. Leaving after lunch, you will encounter fewer tourists and avoid the large groups of the morning, ensuring a more tranquil and immersive experience.

During the route, you will:
• Get panoramic views of the valleys and mountains in the centre of the island
• Visit the famous Ninho da Manta observation deck
• The iconic “Stairs to Heaven”
• Observe the local fauna and flora, which are always present along the way

This is a demanding route that requires good physical condition, but it rewards you with spectacular views and unique moments in the nature of Madeira.

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

An exclusive crossing, perfect for those seeking adventure, contact with nature, and breathtaking landscapes.
