Overview

Its an early start but so worth the effort. Imagine Starting the day with a spectacular Sunrise from the 3rd highest peak of Madeira, Pico do Arieiro. Due to the late fires the full walk is not possible, but we don´t want you to miss out on the possibility to visit the 3rd highest peak. After the sunrise we go to 2 viewpoints along part of the walk where its still possible to do a 2.4 km long walk (return) After finishing we will drive you to a special comforting place for a warm drink

Pico do Arieiro

Leaving Funchal very early morning we will start our drive to the 3rd highest peak, which on a clear morning, has the best view for the start of a new day We will be arriving still dark so that the full experience can be experienced. When the sunrise ends we will start our experience of the challenge walk between the highest peaks of Madeira. The arrival at the highest peak (Pico Ruivo) will give you a well-deserved picnic break and relaxed time so that you can visit the area. We will then walk until the Achadas do Teixeira where the bus will await your arrival together with your guide so the drive can be made back to the Hotels/ accommodation in Funchal
