Ma quando sarai a 1.818 metri a guardare il sole salire sopra le nuvole, l'unico rimpianto sarà non essere venuto prima. Il transfer ti preleva a Funchal o Caniço quando è ancora buio e ti porta al Pico do Areeiro in tempo per la prima luce. Da lì percorri il PR1 classico completo: la cresta fino al Pico Ruivo, il tetto di Madeira a 1.862 metri, e poi la discesa verso l'Achada do Teixeira, dove l'autista viene a prenderti. Circa 10 km e cinque ore a piedi, senza guida e al tuo ritmo. Il percorso completo ha riaperto il 26 giugno 2026 e ora si cammina tutti i giorni, a senso unico, da Areeiro verso Ruivo. È obbligatorio il permesso di accesso al sentiero: 10,50 € a persona, da prenotare in anticipo su SIMplifica. Le istruzioni complete arrivano via email dopo la prenotazione.","short_description":"Alba sul PR1 dal Pico do Areeiro, con prelievo in hotel su transfer condiviso e recupero all'Achada do Teixeira.

The weather was not on our side and we weren’t comfortable to do the PR1 due to strong winds. So, we decided not to risk it. We did the PR3 which was a very lovely hike. The trail is relatively well marked but we used All Trails to make sure we were on the correct path. PR3 is a very quiet trail and peaceful. We love mountains and trees and rivers, so it was excellent for us. PR3 is not challenging, apart in some small parts. We got to see some cute donkeys at the end and also had great coffee/tea/cake/food at the cafe near the bottom of the trail.\nMiguel is a top guide and an excellent drive! Very professional!
