Madeira Walking Tour

Madeira, Portugal

Why Walk Madeira

Madeira rises dramatically from the Atlantic Ocean 600 kilometers off the coast of Morocco, its volcanic peaks reaching over 1,800 meters. The island's subtropical climate produces an extraordinary abundance of flowers, earning it the nickname Floating Garden of the Atlantic. The levada system — over 2,500 kilometers of irrigation channels — provides walking trails through laurisilva forest, along cliff edges, and past waterfalls.
