Maar als je op 1.818 meter staat en de zon boven de wolken ziet opkomen, is het enige waar je spijt van hebt dat je niet eerder bent gekomen. De transfer haalt je in het donker op in Funchal of Caniço en brengt je naar Pico do Areeiro, precies op tijd voor het eerste licht. Vanaf daar loop je de volledige klassieke PR1: over de bergkam naar Pico Ruivo, met 1.862 meter het hoogste punt van Madeira, en daarna de afdaling naar Achada do Teixeira, waar de chauffeur je ophaalt. Ongeveer 10 km en vijf uur lopen, zonder gids en in je eigen tempo. De volledige route is sinds 26 juni 2026 weer open en gaat nu elke dag, in één richting, van Areeiro naar Ruivo. Een wandelvergunning is verplicht: € 10,50 per persoon, vooraf te boeken via SIMplifica. De volledige instructies krijg je na je boeking per e-mail.","short_description":"Zonsopgang op de PR1 vanaf Pico do Areeiro, met ophalen bij je hotel in een gedeelde transfer en ophalen bij 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!
