Description

Madeira is an archipelago in front of the northwestern coast of Africa that belongs to Portugal. An old irrigation system built by farmers crosses the entire island and will give us the chance to reach many beautiful spots by foot. On this 1-day hike, we’ll follow one of these water channels, called levadas. Don’t miss this trip across Vereda do Larano!

Our program will start in the village of Machico and finish in Porto da Cruz. On the way, we’ll discover some of the most dazzling landscapes on the north coast of Madeira. We’ll have some stunning photo ops as we walk with the sea at our side and admire the local vegetation.

Take into account that this hike has a medium level of difficulty. Also, we’ll cover a distance of 10,5 kilometers and spend 4-5 hours walking. Therefore, it’s very important not to be afraid of heights and to be in good physical shape.

So, does this hike in Vereda do Larano sound exciting? Then all you have to do is send the request and book your place on the trip. I’ll be happy to be your guide on this program!

Other attractive possibilities in Madeira could be these hikes that I lead in Levada dos Cedros and Levada do Alecrim. Check them out!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
