    Pico Ruivo is the highest point on the island of Madeira from its height of 1,862 meters. This must-see offers an absolutely magical view of the island as well as the jagged cliffs it surrounds.

    Mountaineering

    The highest mountain in Madeira and simply a breathtakingly beautiful view 😍.
    Translated by
    The path to Pico Ruivo is currently closed due to rockfalls and forest fires.
    It is recommended to take the northern ascent to the summit.
