The islands of Madeira and Porto Santo are a haven of natural beauty located in the center of the Atlantic. This archipelago, where two thirds are a protected area and where the largest Laurisilva forest in the world is located, stands out for the unusual colors of the flowers among the blue water and the emerald green foliage.
Ponta de São Lourenço – A nature reserve with enormous reddish-hued volcanic boulders can be found in the extreme east of Madeira. The dramatic views of the Atlantic and the images that depict the edges of the Earth make the journey worthwhile. Unusual flowering plants like cardoons and everlastings might grow due to the soil and environment, among other factors.
Cabo Girão – At the top of this 580-meter-high cliff on Madeira’s south coast, a “skywalk” was put in place in 2012.
Only those with a head for heights should attempt this because the platform hangs over the cliff’s edge and features glass floor tiles that provide a clear, dizzying view of the ocean far below.
Pico Ruivo – If you’re ready for the challenge, you can hike Madeira’s highest peak (1,862m) if you have the proper footwear and pay attention to the weather.
The trek takes about six hours and starts at the Pico do Arieiro for experienced hikers.
Despite the fact that there are quicker, easier routes to the summit (such as those from Achada do Teixeira), this track offers the most breathtaking views.
