Nice man, great timing. Have fun!

Thanks for your tips. I am going in September and would like to arrive in Pico Ruivo just before sunrise, about 7:30 am. I know there is a shorter route from Achada do Teixeira. About an hour and a half to reach the summit of Pico Ruivo. If I start from Pico do Arieiro considering the 3 1/2 hours or so to get to the top I would have to leave at 4 am. Also there is the issue of darkness. What do you recommend to do? Also could you give me the location of the parking lot at Pico do Arieiro? Thank you in advance.

Thank you! Very informative! Is it worth doing in January when the weather and visibility are not so good, or is it better to leave it and do a different hike?

Make sure to check out the webcam every day, maybe then you will know how big your chances are? You're welcome!!

Hi Xander, thanks for the very interesting and helpful video! Question: My girlfriend and I are going to Madeira in June and would very much like to do this hike. However, we both are somewhat afraid of heights :D so we were wondering if it is very scary at some points or does it feel perfectly safe all the time? We have done some hikes with heights so we're not extremely terrified of heights, but this one seems to have some scary points and we do have some hoogtevrees.. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the comment! Its not a scary hike, might be one or two spots but with proper fencing. And you will always have the oppertunity to turn around, the start from Pico de Arieiro is already worth it even without a hike!!

Fantastic video, planning to do this hike this year! Would you say it would be easy to pick up a taxi at the end and then get it back to the beginning? We plan to drive to the beginning but not walk it in both directions. Ta.

Mmm i doubt that there will be many taxi's. Might be but i dont know. You could be lucky but i wouldnt try it without having some phone numbers of taxi's you could call?

@boydsargeant7496 i think so!

Any thoughts on continuing to Teixeiera for car pickup instead of heading back to Areeiro? A little concerned about the difficulty

Fantastic! Thank you for the video! I dream of going on this hike. Will it be comfortable there with trekking poles? My knees…)))

@OlaCamino if you're used to walking with poles it can be comfortabele. But the trail is narrow!

inside of those dark tunnels, are there any spiders? :(
