Description

Hike around Madeira's highest peaks with a mountain guide and climb Pico Ruivo ! 

You'll enjoy a transfer from Funchal to Madeira's mountainous region, where the island's highest peaks are concentrated. You'll start your ascent in the company of your professional mountain guide, and as you ascend you'll see the landscape change from lush vegetation to dry, ochre-hued land. 

You'll cross the peaks of Pico do Arieiro and Achada do Teixeira and reach the summit of Pico Ruivo, Madeira's highest point at 1,860m above sea level. The spectacular views will be a real reward, between ocean, sea of clouds and lush vegetation at your feet.
