Lovely hike

Nancy_P, Feb 2025

Andre’s first tour guide experience and he did great! The weather didn’t allow for views of the valley & waterfalls from the path due to rain, mist & intense fog! Quite a long hiking distance-12 km in 3 hours (round trip) and slower pace due to wet paths & standing water (plan for wet feet!). We enjoyed the experience!

Yes a more personal and fun experience with our own guide

Our guide picked us up at our hotel and we had a great time talking and laughing mixed in with a bit of history of maderia. I learned a lot about the waterfalls and nature along the way . We could go at our own pace , stop when we wanted . It was like going on a hike with a friend not a long line of 20 other tourists . How can you not love that !!!! So fun

Wonderful experience

Gonzalo the tour guide was so wonderful!! Very nice person. We saw wonderful waterfalls that only locals know where they are and we also hike to see the 25 fountains waterfall. He really enjoys his job, he even offer to take me to the airport when I left. He's such a nice person!! I definitely recommend this tour
