Why is hiking in Madeira an amazing holiday experience?
Beautiful landscapes, perfect for hiking!
The island of Madeira boasts some truly stunning hiking trails that lead you through the enchanted Laurissilva forest. This centuries old forest is part of the Madeira Nature Reserve and is a classified ‘preservation area’. It is home to many endemic species of fauna and flora, some of which are on the brink of extinction. The island also boasts high cliffs such as the Faja dos Padres which stands at 250 metres high offering a jaw dropping view over the immensity of the Atlantic Ocean.
Funchal, a walk in the Portuguese colonial past!
Funchal is the capital city and the starting point of your Madeira walking trip. Stretching from the beach up to the hills, this emblematic city is a harmonious mix between a rich colonial past and modern-day life. It is a city to be discovered on foot, with sites such as the old town of Sé, the Sao Joao and the Sao Tiago fortresses, the Sao Lourenço Palace and many more. You can easily spend a day or two exploring the city
A unique hiking destination
3 words to sum up a walking holiday in Madeira: green, hilly and plenty of water! What makes walking in Madeira so unique are the iconic levadas – the small canals that were built to collect the water dripping down the mountains and use it to irrigate the fields and land. These levadas now form a network of hiking trails throughout the island.
