This is due in no small part to the levadas, the historic irrigation canals that carry water from the wetter parts of the island to farms and villages. Many levadas are lined with hiking trails through forests, valleys and mountain landscapes, often with stunning views and lush greenery.\n\nHiking in Madeira can range from easy walks to more challenging tours. Popular areas include Ribeiro Frio, Rabaçal, 25 Fontes and the trails near Pico do Arieiro and Pico Ruivo, Madeira's highest peak. Hikers here experience dramatic mountain formations, clouds sweeping over the peaks and trails that reveal a completely different side of the island from the coastal towns.\n\nMuch of Madeira's nature is unique. The Laurisilva Forest, the ancient laurel forest, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the island's most important natural areas. On our group trips with hiking elements, the itinerary is adapted to the program and level of difficulty, but regardless of level, good shoes, a water bottle and clothing for changing weather are important to bring.","5d39f768-d4c9-46bf-885a-f1ef1a2e0b98","image-left",{"title":54,"title_translationkey":55,"body_md":56,"body_md_translationkey":57,"cloudinary_image_id":45,"align":58},"Excursions around the island – coastal villages, cliffs and flowering valleys","a1de5772-3121-4a9d-8e20-19872b9694a9","Although Madeira is a relatively small island, it is full of great contrasts.

In the north, the landscape is often wilder and more dramatic, while eastern Madeira offers viewpoints, barren peninsulas and villages like Santana with its traditional triangular houses. Inland lies Curral das Freiras, the Nuns' Valley, surrounded by steep mountains.\n\nFor those who want to explore even more, Porto Santo, Madeira, may be of interest.

The island has an international airport, Madeira Airport or Cristiano Ronaldo International Airport, located near Santa Cruz east of Funchal. The approach is well known for its location between mountains and sea, but the airport is modern and serves as the island's main gateway for visitors.\n\nMadeira Portugal is suitable for travelers who want a lot of experiences without long daily distances. With a group tour, you get a planned program, tour guide and the opportunity to share the experiences with others. This is especially valuable on an island where weather, altitude differences and local knowledge can affect which excursions are best suited for the day.\n\nWeather Madeira is a common question before departure. Generally the climate is mild, but since the island has large altitude differences you should pack for both sun, wind and rain. In addition to comfortable walking shoes, a light jacket, sun protection and clothes in layers are good choices. Madeira is a destination where nature, cities, food, wine and hiking meet – and it is precisely this variety that makes many people happy to return.","f222bfeb-774e-4e48-814a-23958f44b605",[],169,"Madeira","ae0a98e2-b5c2-11f1-9a9f-066d629c5c65","Madeira is Portugal's lush island in the Atlantic Ocean - a destination for those who want to combine magnificent nature, a pleasant climate, good food, hiking and culture in Funchal.

The island is located northeast of Madeira and is known for its long, light sandy beach, which is clearly different from Madeira's more rocky coast. Not all trips include Porto Santo, but it is a name many come across when planning a longer Madeira trip or want to combine nature with the beach. \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv data-flex=\"1\" data-type=\"column\" style=\"flex: 1 1 0%;

The island has an international airport, Madeira Airport or Cristiano Ronaldo International Airport, which is located near Santa Cruz east of Funchal. The approach is well known for its location between mountains and sea, but the airport is modern and serves as the island's main gateway for visitors. Madeira Portugal is suitable for travelers who want a lot of experiences without long daily distances. With a group tour, you get a planned program, tour leader and the opportunity to share the experiences with others. This is especially valuable on an island where weather, altitude differences and local knowledge can affect which excursions are best suited for the day. Weather Madeira is a common question before departure. Generally, the climate is mild, but since the island has large altitude differences, you should pack for both sun, wind and rain. In addition to comfortable walking shoes, a light jacket, sun protection and clothes in layers are good choices. Madeira is a destination where nature, cities, food, wine and hiking meet – and it is precisely this variety that makes many people happy to return.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch3>\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>","ae092589-b5c2-11f1-9a9f-066d629c5c65","\u003Ch1>Madeira Holidays\u003C\u002Fh1>\u003Ch2> About our group trips to Madeira\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp> Madeira is a Portuguese island in the Atlantic Ocean and one of Europe's most popular destinations for nature, hiking, culture and a pleasant climate.
