Hiking and Trekking, Footpath and Mountain walks

To experience the fantastic and thrilling landscapes of the island is not only an adventure, it is a must. There are so many things that make the Madeira walking holidays a life time experience. Often, the paths are overhung with flowers and other unusual sub-tropical plants and they nearly all give wonderful views down towards the valleys and sea. You will find amazing trees with flowers in many colours. They also pass through some traditional settlements, small and charming, bizarre worn-away, villages. Bring some food, there are often places where you can grill.

We should divide the Madeira walks into 3 types:
Mountain trails – trails, often traditional old communication roads from one village to another,
Forrest roads – sometimes still used for agricultural purposes.
