Our guide Claudio took us off the beaten track following the Levada on a 6km hike. He kindly gave us the option to shorten the hike, should we want to, to avoid a steep climb at the end. Following the hike we went to a local bar where we tried Poncha and then onto a local restaurant to grill beef skewers over an open fire - delicious! Claudio was very friendly and knowledgable and we would definitely join him again.

We chose this experience because it fit our schedule, you should choose it because it is excellently curated and skillfully lead. Claudio is a certified wilderness trail specialist and has his undergraduate degree in Biology, he is also pleasant, kind, and an all-around wonderful person and guide. On our scenic hike he shared his vast knowledge about Madeira’s ecology and vegetation, Madeira’s unique role in Portuguese history, and the current culture and everyday life on the island. On our (mostly) moderate hike we saw NO OTHER TOURISTS but were perfectly immersed in the hills and valleys of Madeira. After the hike we had a wonderful meal, with house-made poncha and wine, at a local spot fill with locals. Truly a unique experience on an island where it’s easy to be swallowed by the crowd.
We started our hike at 4pm, temps were around 70F (late June). I wore hiking shoes, lightweight hiking pants, a short-sleeved t-shirt and by the end of the day, I had put on the lightweight jacket I packed. The hike was not technical, was light-moderate in effort, with one incline on which I needed a brief rest. I do not consider myself a hiker.

Claudio was amazing! He changed his plans to cater for us and could not be more helpful. We had an excellent day and he made our trip!
