Are you looking for a hiking trip in the scenic archipelago of Madeira? Then join me and discover the amazing Caminho Real da Encumeada!
Madeira is an autonomous region of Portugal encompassing four islands about 950 kms southwest of Lisbon. Known for its warm climate and its rugged volcanic terrain, this archipelago is an attractive destination for trekking adventures.
My hiking outing starts at Miradouro Boca da Corrida with fantastic views of the central mountains of Madeira. The Caminho Real da Encumeada is a paved road, formerly used by the landed nobility, that connects the base of some of the highest peaks of the area. In addition to learning about the past, we will explore a unique natural area with a rich flora and fauna!
Please note that you don’t need previous hiking experience. However, we will hike a total distance of almost 12km, so I recommend this outing for people with a good fitness level.
So, if you want to explore the archipelago of Madeira under expert guidance, please contact me. Let’s hike the Caminho Real da Encumeada and enjoy an unforgettable adventure!
I can also take you to the top of Pico Ruivo, the highest peak of the archipelago. Check it out here.

I was looking for a local guide for a hike I was planning and came across Explore-Share. They seemed to have good reviews and so decided to give them a try. The experience was very positive and completely happy with their service. I will be using them again for next trip.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
