Madeira's Best Hike - Pico do Arieiro to Pico Ruivo

Date walked: 04/03/2023

Time taken: 10 hours

Distance: 12.2km

Ascent: 700m

Cloud inversions at sun rise, stunning wild partridges (and their babies), fantastic views from start to end, and pretty flora; being told over and over that this was Madeira's best hike - it didn't disappoint! It was pretty gruelling in the summer heat and sun, but I'd highly recommend this to anyone who's an avid walker.

I've put together a video of it - if you choose to watch it, I hope you enjoy.
