Itinerary description

Very nice hike in the mountains of Madeira. Arrived at 6h45 for the sunrise (check the time on google since it changes).

The best is to park at the meteo/defense station. Then walk to the point of view and start from here (check the map)

We opted to have a taxi to get us in Funchal and dropping us at the Pico do Arieiro. Then picking us at Texeira at 14h00 and back to Funchal (total cost 125euros for 4 people).

We walk 4 hours (took a lot of pictures and videos) and had the time to eat at the arrival in a beautiful small restaurant.

Recommended to have good hiking shoes, level moderate+ since it's a bit rock and deep.

Very nice weather the morning since the first part will be on the other side of the sun (else might be very hot)
