*IMPORTANT NOTICE*

Sunrise at Pico do Areeiro & Flexible Hiking Adventures

Start your day by meeting your Madeira hiking transfer at one of the pickup points in Funchal, Caniço, or Garajau. From there, you'll be transported directly to the trailhead for a magical sunrise at Pico do Areeiro. Witness the golden hour amidst the dramatic peaks of Madeira as the day awakens around you.

Temporary Route Adjustments
While part of the PR1 trail is currently closed, you’ll still have time after sunrise to explore the accessible section up to Pedra Rija (1.2 km, also known as the "Stairway to Heaven") before returning to our bus.

Next, we’ll take you to an alternative hike:

  • Vereda do Larano (a scenic coastal route)
    OR
  • PR1.2 Pico Ruivo Hike (a stunning mountain trail).

These options offer equally breathtaking experiences until the full PR1 trail reopens.

We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. We will notify you via WhatsApp about changes.
