Hiking

This hiking trail in the Laurissilva zone leads through one of Madeira's most valuable and pristine forests. Among mighty laurel trees, dense moss, and lush greenery, an almost fairytale-like atmosphere is created, typical of this UNESCO-protected natural area. A tranquil, shady section that impressively conveys the special magic of the Laurissilva forest.
