A unique and beautiful hike in the heart of Madeira’s mountains with an engaging and knowledgeable guide! - We enjoyed a mostly moderate 12.5km hike within the central Madeiran mountains, with plenty of natural beauty to observe such as deep forested valleys and waterfalls several hundred feet tall. The 25 fountains waterfall pit stop was well worth it and walking along the man-made lavradores water channels (that channel the water from the mountain tops to the villages) that hug many of the paths, was simply unique. Our guide, Marta, who spoke fluent English, German and Portuguese, shared with us her vast knowledgeable of the surroundings and was unfailingly pleasant throughout the entirety of our adventure. Overall, this full day experience was well worth our time and expense.

Fantastic, exhilarating and enjoyable - Really great hike, not too difficult for those who are moderately active. Martha was fantastic super motivated and made the hike enjoyable. It took around 2.5 hours and we had around 30 minutes to see the water fall. Luckily we went off peak and the views were fantastic. Martha explained things incredibly well along the hike! Carlos was fantastic tooo
