Hiking

The view from Chao dos Terreiros is sensational in good weather. The central location offers a panoramic view over the plateau Paul da Serra, down to the valley of the Ribeira Brava up to the Encumeada Pass and to the highest peaks of Madeira.

Hiking

You will hardly find a better vantage point of the central high peaks of the island. Above all, the Pico Grande with its enormous substructure stands out, but the wild chain of the even higher Pico Ruivo and Pico das Torres also characterize the view. The summit of the Chaõ dos Terreiros is marked by a square measuring column on a small pedestal. The hike from Fontes here has a completely different character than so many other tours - no levadas and no fairytale forest, but cultural landscape and eucalyptus at over 1000m above sea level.

Hiking

Wide, easy-to-walk paths, nothing overgrown because of the fire in 2024. By March 2025, however, it was already green again—only the gorse bushes were unfortunately still missing. A good path when the clouds envelop the higher mountains.
