We really enjoyed this trip. Maria met us at our hotel and George drove us to the start of our climb which was around an hour away. Maria then guided us to the top of the mountain. We were very lucky with the weather. The mountain tops are often shrouded in cloud but for the most part it was bright and sunny. As you can imagine the views were out of this world. Once we had walked back down George drove us to the forest for the second part of the day. This was a gentle walk through a wooded area and Maria explained when the Levadas were built and how they work. She also told us about the native trees and plants, she really knew her stuff! Definitely recommend Maria, George and Free Spirit Walk!

Amazing experience, easy communication. Received a message with the pick up details. Our guide Maria was friendly and welcoming.
We were driven to Achada Texiera and started our hike to Pico Ruivo. Maria led us at an easy pace, giving loads of opportunities for photo stops and sharing interesting facts about the nature- flowers, birds- and the island.
We got to the Ruivo accommodation and had an hour break, to climb up to the summit and have lunch. After an hour of admiring the scenery, we descended back to the car park. It was “a free time” so we could walk at our own pace (a bit faster) if we preferred.
Then we were transferred about 10 minutes and started a levada walk- that took about an hour with lots of informations.
Jorge- our driver was waiting gor us at the end and drove us safely to our pick up/ drop off destination.
It was a lovely hassle- free day.
