Follow us on this day hike and go from Pico do Areeiro (1,817 meters) to Pico Ruivo (1,862 meters) on the beautiful island of Madeira.

This trail connects two of the highest points on the island, Pico do Areeiro and Pico Ruivo and will take us across fantastic landscapes. While hiking, we’ll discover the central massif of the island and walk through tunnels and steep sections. Also, we might have the chance to see some bird species that can only be found on Madeira and several beautiful plants.

With an extension of 12 kilometers and a duration of 5 hours, keep in mind that this hike is demanding and requires a good level of fitness. Of course, we will be there to help and guide you on the way.

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.
