Zonsopgang bij Pico do Arieiro Trap naar de Hemel en PR3 Self Guided
Beschrijving
Begin je dag boven de wolken met een adembenemende zonsopgang bij Pico do Areeiro, de op twee na hoogste top van Madeira. Terwijl de lucht goud- en violettinten krijgt, bent u getuige van een van de meest onvergetelijke uitzichten van het eiland. Volg na zonsopgang een prachtig stuk van het PR1-pad richting de iconische “Stairway to Heaven” — een dramatische bergkamwandeling met epische fotomogelijkheden. Vervolg daarna uw avontuur op de PR3 – Vereda do Burro, een rustiger pad dat u door weidse berglandschappen, rustige paden en open luchten leidt. De volledige wandeling duurt ongeveer 5 uur en biedt de perfecte balans tussen schoonheid, uitdaging en sereniteit. Ontspan aan het einde met een kopje koffie of lokale lekkernij voordat u comfortabel terugkeert. Inclusief hotel pick-up en drop-off, met vroege en late starttijden beschikbaar. Of u nu op zoek bent naar zonsopgangen of onvergetelijke wandelingen, dit is een echt Madeira-hoogtepunt. We informeren je de dag ervoor over de exacte ophaaltijd en houden je op de hoogte via WhatsApp.

Luis Freitas has an excellent shuttle service, accommodating and friendly. He knows everything and is a very good and safe driver. I definitely want to recommend him!!!
Superb experience, Luis is really kind and gave us several pieces of information and valuable advice regarding the hike and the island in general. We recommend this activity to everyone!
Luis made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. He texted us all the details the day before, which gave us plenty of time to prepare. He picked us up right on time and drove us straight to PR1 “Stairways to Heaven” to catch the sunrise, which was absolutely worth it. Luis is a funny and friendly guide (sometimes a bit too funny), but he answered all our questions and gave helpful tips on what to do and avoid in Funchal, along with some great personal recommendations. After the hike, he picked us up at a nice café/bar where we could relax, eat, or grab a drink before heading back. The hike itself isn’t too difficult, but proper shoes are essential since both PR1 and PR3 can get slippery. If you’re active, it’ll be easy; if not, you can still complete it at your own pace. The views are stunning, very scenic, and we barely saw other people on the trail. Overall, great value for money and definitely recommended.
Very friendly driver; he explained the routes to us and was very punctual. Good price compared to what you find with other companies in Madeira
A very beautiful experience. Everything went smoothly and the landscapes were truly incredible. The transfer service went very well and everything was very well organized
We were picked up by Luis, who was unfortunately running quite late, which meant we then had quite a rush to reach Pico do Arieiro, he was however, very nice and very apologetic Arrived at the stairway to heaven and saw the most beautiful sunset, we then unfortunately didn’t listen to instructions properly and walked the incorrect route, which meant our entire group had to walk back up 7 zillion steps - completely our own fault - so I recommend listening properly :D PR3 was also lovely, we really enjoyed our day and Luis was super nice and friendly and we would certainly recommend using this tour to see these amazing places
The hike was excellent . I would do it again)
Luis, the guide, was funny and lively. I would not have done this, however, had I understood how difficult it was: 16,000 steps (70% downhill), 7 miles and the equivalent of 50 flights of stairs. I hike and do Pilates a lot and am in pretty good shape for a gal of 76, but this was too much and there was no turning back. It was truly lovely to see the sunrise and the spectacular rock formations in early morning light and I highly recommend it for someone younger in great shape. I didn’t help that my legs are short. The uneven and deep steps put a strain on my knees and quads.
Luís was wonderful and made our sunrise hike experience totally stress-free! He arranges all of the pick-up times for us and was right on time in the morning to pick us up from our lodging. We made up to the peak with plenty of time to find a spot to watch the sunrise, and followed with plenty of time to do both the PR1 and PR3 hikes. We were definitely glad to be brought straight back to our lodging at the end as well rather than a meeting point we’d have to walk back from, as those two hikes are brutal on the knees! We’d definitely recommend Luís to anyone wishing for direct transport to and from the mountain.
We consciously decided to only go for the sunrise and part of the PR1 trail. But even that is an unforgettable experience. To everyone who plans to go, we recommend good, sturdy footwear and good physical condition.
