Other walks in the area

Walking Levada Do Furado de Ribeiro Frio

Walker
↔10.10 km ↗+663 m ↘-945 m ◔4h 45 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Machico (Madeira)

A must-do levada, very easy, for all ages, alternating shady sections on the mountainside, winding paths and panoramic views of the island's north coast and then the east coast as you reach Portela.
Less busy than other levadas, the 10.5 Km walk is 4/5ths flat, with no change in altitude (very gentle slope all along the levada), except for a 200-meter drop in altitude on the last 2 Km of the walk.
Take a cab back to the starting point.

Walking Vereda dos Balcões

Walker
↔3.07 km ↗+258 m ↘-258 m ◔1h 35 ▲Easy
⚑Departure from Machico (Madeira)

This walk is one of Madeira's shortest and easiest. It leads to the Balcões belvedere, with its impressive views of the island's highest peaks. Here we offer an alternative route for the last kilometer of the return journey. This alternative route makes the walk a little more challenging, while keeping you away from the crowds.

Walking Pico do Arieiro Pico Ruivo crossing

Walker
Pico do Arieiro Pico Ruivo crossing
↔9.82 km ↗+1,909 m ↘-1,912 m ◔8h 15 ▲Difficult
⚑Departure from Santana (Madeira)

A fabulous but demanding hike that leads through exceptional panoramas and vertiginous peaks to the island's highest summit.
Although the route is completely safe, it may not be suitable for those prone to vertigo. The path is paved throughout and includes tunnels.
N.B. The altitude difference shown is obviously overestimated (which happens in very steep terrain like this): count on around 1000m.

Walking Pico Ruivo from Achada de Teixeira

Walker
↔5.38 km ↗+362 m ↘-358 m ◔2h 35 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Santana (Madeira)

Climb to the highest point of the island of Madeira, taking the easier route. Beautiful mountain scenery and a superb 360° panorama at the top.

Walking Pico Ruivo from Bocca da Encumeada

Walker
↔19.44 km ↗+2,655 m ↘-2,646 m ◔8 hrs ▲Very difficult
⚑Departure from Câmara de Lobos (Madeira)

Climb to the highest point of the island of Madeira, and by the road less travelled. A long and demanding hike in diverse environments. Beautiful viewpoints on the route and, at the top, a beautiful 360° view.
N.B. Due to the steep crags of Madeira, the displayed altitude difference is overestimated and, therefore, so is the estimate of the time. Expect the elevation to be more in the order of 1,200 m in both directions.

Walking La Levada do Norte and Folhadal forest

Walker
↔5.32 km ↗+364 m ↘-355 m ◔2h 35 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Câmara de Lobos (Madeira)

Madeira Island is filled with irrigation canals, the Levadas. This short hike takes you along the Levada do Norte, one of the most significant of the island, located in an elevated part of the island. You'll find stunning viewpoints along the way and go through a beautiful forest with various species.
N.B. The altitude displayed is most probably over estimated as the trail is relatively flat along the Levada following the contour line.
