    When you see the parking lot, you have completed the approximately 8 km and around 1000 meters of altitude (ascent and descent) from Pico do Areeiro over Pico Ruivo and have experienced what is probably the most beautiful hike on Madera.

      From this point, you have a great view of Achada do Teixeira and the surrounding mountain ridges – a beautiful mix of rugged rocky landscape and expansive sky. You can see where roads, parking areas, and trails converge, allowing you to perfectly plan your route. Ideal for a quick photo stop before continuing towards Pico Ruivo or back down into the valley.

        The parking lot is at the end of the road coming from Santana. There are a few parking spaces, but they all fill up very quickly! The early bird catches the worm!
