    A lot of steps. Better use sticks. In the both finals of the way there is a bar with water. During the road there is no drinking points. Pretty safe.

    The Pico do Areeiro is with its altitude of 1818 meters the third highest peak on Madeira. An excellently built path leads to Pico Ruivo, the highest peak. The trail went four hours, the weather was delightful.

    A linear walk from Radar Tower at Areeiro it includes Pico Ruivo (Highest peak in Madeira at 1862m). A taxi costs €60 to return to P. Do Areeiro for 1 to 7 persons. 1 hour. A very nice drive.

    This is a long hike starting at sunrise and finishing at sunset. I started at the Eira do Serrado side of the Tunnel of Curral das Freiras, hiking all the way up the surrounding mountain summits towards Pico do Arieiro. ...
