BEST THINGS TO DO IN MADEIRA:
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!

Another highlight of our trip were the natural swimming pools of Porto Moniz. The pools are made up of volcanic rock, into which the sea flows naturally.

Madeira is also known for it’s magical walks alongside irrigation canals. (that were originally made to transport water from the north of the island to the south) You get to see fauna and flora that are unique in the world.
