One word - Astounding!
The beauty of Madeira is amazing and we were so lucky with the weather conditions on our walk that we could appreciate it properly.
Our mountain guide, who's name I have forgotten, was absolutely excellent. Firstly, she made sure our walk was safe and I think we all had faith in her. She made sure we were all aware of the difficulty of the walk and that we were all prepared.
She was also a huge font of knowledge on the island, the mountains and the vegetation and she was happy and cheerful with us all.
The walk is amazing.....I do a fair amount of hill-walking in Scotland and our views and mountains are wonderful but the views from the Pico Areeiro - Pico Ruivo trail are simply breathtaking. Around every rock there's a new vista.....leave any one of the short tunnels and there's another 'Wow' moment.
The mountain path challenging but very well maintained, so thanks also to all the Madeirans who look after the trails.
This is our third visit to Madeira and we will definitely be back next year and my wife and I can enjoy one or two of the more gentleLevada walks. But, I will definitely book the mountain walk again. I'm sure with different weather conditions, it will be quite a different experience.

What to expect
This is it! This is the walk that will give you a complete perspective of the beauty of Madeira Island. Rock formations shoot into the sky like timeless statues. All along this route the views are breathtaking. A profusion of unique plants make this place their natural habitat. In springtime these plants proudly dress themselves in a myriad of colours, displaying their fragile flowers for all to see. Near Pico Ruivo we walk through the oldest heather forest in existence. These ancient trees are many hundreds of years old and were already there when Zarco discovered and landed on the island for the first time. We soon arrive at Pico Ruivo (the highest point on the island) and the views from there are out of this world. Truly and as the saying goes “On a clear day you can see forever”.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
