Skip to content Grade 4 - Challenging
Pico do Arieiro - Pico Ruivo
The Madeira Challenging walk starts on the 3rd highest Peak Arieiro (1810mts) up to Ruivo Peak (1862mts), the highest on the island of Madeira.
Just before Pico Ruivo, ancient heather trees that are many hundreds of years and were already there when Zarco landed on the island. Passing through small tunnels we arrive at Pico Ruivo.
After a break, surrounded by an usual landscape we start making our way slowly down to Achada do Teixeira.
Where the Madeira Island Walks transport will be waiting.
Suitable footwear and waterproofs are also essential at all times of the year.
