Follow your expert guide along the famous levadas (irrigation channels) that follow the winding network of reservoirs. Admire the unspoiled landscape as you pass by some of the oldest Madeira heather woods and let your imagination run free as you gaze at stunning volcanic rock formations shooting into the sky.
The trail takes you to the island's highest peak, Pico Ruivo—6,106 feet (1,861 m) high and only accessible by foot. Its unique position on the island provides unbeatable views from coast to coast.
