What people say

Marthe Bertels

"Most amazing Camping experience ever! Once you reach Casa de Abrigo do Pico Ruivo, you know you are almost there. From here It only takes 15 to 20 minutes to reach the top. Follow the indications. At one point you can choose to go up, to the peak of pico Ruivo, and go right in de direction of Santana. First go right for only 200 meters. There you find the campsite where you can put your tent and drop your stuff before climbing the last bit to the top."

Madeira - a 12-day itinerary - Budget/slowtravel

Hi! I created a detailed 12-day itinerary to discover Madeira on a budgetfriendly way. I travelled solo to Madeira in november 2022. Since I like to take my time to see things, meet new people and adventure I focus on following things: 1) Hostels, they are the best way to meet new people. 2) I love hiking so get ready for some beautiful hiking trails and wildcamping. 3) I use public transport, since this is a lot cheaper than renting a car. I give you advice on how to get there and how long it takes. 4) Tips and tricks on what to do and what not to. I recommend places I've been to myself but also places I heard great things about but didn't visit. 5) I love taking pictures so enjoy some travel pictures I took myself :) I discovered beautiful places and fell in love with Madeira, so I hope you do too!
