PICO RUIVO -
The highest point of Madeira. You can drive your car to Achada do Teixeira. From there, the hike lasts for about 1,5h and is of intermediate difficulty. If you start hiking around 4pm, you can watch the sunset and be the last ones descending the mountain. From the starting point to the top, you walk above the clouds, truly magical!
