The Vereda dos Balcões is a short hiking trail from the aquaculture center near Ribeiro Frio to the Miradouro dos Balcões viewpoint. This is located at the end of a dead-end road, so you first backtrack a bit and then continue to Ribeiro Frio. A good portion of the trail runs along the Levada do Furado

Today's vacation itinerary includes a free day. Some of the group is looking forward to a quiet day at the hotel pool, while others would rather see a bit more of the island. So we devise a route that's feasible for everyone who wants to join us and still includes a few sights. We take a taxi up to Camacha

Today we transfer from Funchal to our new hotel in Caniço de Baixo. Unfortunately, check-in is delayed. However, there's still time for a short hike to the Cristo Rei statue at Ponta do Garajau, a smaller version of the famous statue in Rio. Both were built at a similar time: the statue in Rio was built

The only hike in the official itinerary that actually deserves this name: We hike along the eastern end of Madeira. The landscape here, with its sparse vegetation, is somewhat reminiscent of Iceland and forms an interesting contrast to the otherwise lush island of Madeira. The rocks here glow in various

After making up for yesterday's basket sleigh ride with a bearable wait, we now embark on the first levada tour of our Madeira trip. Although advertised in the itinerary as a hike, the route along the Levada do Caniçal near Machico is more of a stroll. This is partly due to the fact that levadas, as

After arriving yesterday, the holiday program begins today with a city tour of Funchal. The many artistically painted doors in the city are particularly striking. There are also some beautiful churches to visit. You can also spend some time in the market hall. However, our guide warns us not to buy fruit

Finally, another levada tour: This time we're following the Levada do Castelejo towards Porto da Cruz. Typical of a levada, the route doesn't have any major climbs. Along the way, there are some beautiful views of the Eagle Rock near Porto da Cruz. At the end, we stop for a good coffee in a small caf
