Great Hike and friendly Guide - We had a Great time at this afternoon Hike. Hugo, the Guide who organizes the Tour or more specific the transfer, was very kind and friendly. He picked us up at our desired location and we had a good chat with him on the way to our starting point near Porto da Cruz.
The tour takes 3-4 hours, depending on the personal fitness level. Special hiking gear is not required, just some good hiking shoes, since the track can be muddy/wet in some areas.
All in all we had a great tour with beautiful views of the northern/eastern coastline and later on Madeira and it‘s valleys.
We can definitely recommend this tour.
