Description

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.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
