Hello everyone! I’m excited to share that I recently accomplished my fourth goal: going hiking in the mountains of Madeira! It was an amazing experience, and I want to tell you all about it.

Madeira is a beautiful island with breathtaking landscapes, including stunning mountains perfect for hiking adventures. During my trip, I embarked on two unforgettable hikes: the Levada Das 25 Fontes Hike & Risco Waterfall and the Vereda da Ponta de São Lourenço.

The Levada Das 25 Fontes Hike & Risco Waterfall was a journey through lush greenery and alongside picturesque waterfalls. The levadas, which are narrow irrigation channels unique to Madeira, guided our path as we soaked in the beauty of the surrounding nature. Along the way, we were treated to stunning views of the 25 Fontes waterfall, a mesmerizing sight that left us in awe of nature’s power and beauty.

The Vereda da Ponta de São Lourenço hike offered a different but equally breathtaking experience. This hike took us along rugged coastal cliffs, offering panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean below. The landscape was dramatic and awe-inspiring, with every turn revealing a new vista more stunning than the last. At the end of the trail, we were rewarded with breathtaking views of the Ponta de São Lourenço peninsula stretching out into the ocean.

I’ve included some photos from my hikes so you can see the beauty of Madeira’s mountains for yourself.
