Madeira counts some of the steepest bike climbs one can do, but you can also go on the most beautiful hikes through stunning and unparalleled nature. Especially the trek from the Pico do Arieiro to the Pico Ruivo is highly recommended.
It can be quite foggy and cold there, but on a clear day you will get the most breathtaking views. In other parts of the beautiful flower island, you can hike along the legendary levada's, water channels that bring water from the mountains to the farmland down in the valley. These are unique in the world and a must-see.
Madeira telt van de steilste fietsbeklimmingen die men kan doen, maar je kan er ook de prachtigste wandeltochten maken door een schitterende en ongeëvenaarde natuur. Vooral de trektocht van de Pico do Arieiro naar de Pico Ruivo is een echte aanrader.
Het kan er behoorlijk mistig en koud zijn maar bij helder weer bekomt men de meest adembenemende vergezichten. Op andere delen van het prachtige bloemeneiland kan men wandelen langsheen de legendarische levada's, waterkanalen die het water uit de bergen naar de landbouwgronden beneden in het dal brengen. Deze zijn uniek in de wereld en een must see.
