Description

Explore the most incredible Natural Reserve of Madeira - PR8 Vereda da Ponta São Lourenço on a self-guided hike. Enjoy a convenient transfer to the start of the trail and get picked up and driven back at the end. Hike at your own rhythm, exploring the eastern coast of the Island. It is a peninsula of volcanic origin, mostly made of basalt, but with some limestone sediment formations. At the end of it, there are two islets: Desembarcadouro Islet and Farol Islet. The semi-arid climate and exposure to northern winds explain the low vegetation and the absence of trees in this place, contrasting with the rest of the island. It is classified as a Partial Nature Reserve heritage site, home to rare plants and a diversified fauna. Get picked up at your accommodation (Funchal, Caniço, Santa Cruz, Machico) with a shared transfer (up to 8 guests per van). Arrive at your destination and receive your hike instructions with scheduling and map explanation. The hike is a round trip trail totaling 7.5 km in length. This hike will take you roughly 4 hours to complete. The elevation gain is not much and the altitude is around 100 meters sea level. Due to the easy level of hike experience, its family, senior and child friendly.
