After the magnificent display of Nature, we will begin one of the island's most beautiful trails towards its highest point – Pico do Areeiro a Pico Ruivo.
Although it’s a challenging trail, it will leave you speechless countless times.
However, at the end of the trail, and taking advantage of being in the East part of the island, we will visit Santana with its typical little houses, taking the opportunity to rest and recharge after the hike. Once the group is ready, we can still explore more of the East Coast, such as Ponta de S. Lourenço, and the awsome Guindaste Viewpoint.
Day 3 | Porto Santo
Today, to relax after yesterday's big hike, we have a day in the paradise of golden beaches. We're talking about the island of Porto Santo.
We’ll catch the first ferry of the morning to make the most of our time on the neighboring island.
Once we arrive at Porto Santo, We’ll take a 4x4 tour to explore the entire island. In the end, you’ll still have time to swim in the therapeutic waters of one of the biggest beaches in Portugal, or enjoy a poncha at one of the many seaside bars
At 7:00 PM, we depart back to Funchal.
Day 4 | Van Tour Madeira
Today, although it’s a more relaxed day, you’ll discover a lot.
So, we’ll depart early in the morning heading towards the West side of the Island.
So, the plan is to visit Câmara de Lobos, Cabo Girão, Ribeira Brava, Paul da Serra , where you’ll have the opportunity to explore a bit of the Fanal Forest ,through a beautiful, yet short, walk. Finally we will arrive to Porto Moniz Natural Pools
