Overview

Witness Madeira’s legendary sunrise from Pico Areeiro (1818m), avoiding traffic queues, parking fees, and PR1 path access fees. Your adventure starts with a pickup at the Cristiano Ronaldo Museum, about an hour before sunrise, followed by a 35-40 minute drive to the peak.
Upon arrival and after a quick briefing we’ll hike along the iconic PR1 trail connecting Madeira’s highest peaks, making stops at breathtaking viewpoints like Ninho da Manta and the famous Stairways to Heaven ridge.
As the first light graces the horizon, you’ll capture unforgettable photos while soaking in the serene mountain atmosphere. The return hike showcases even more stunning views during the golden hour. The trek lasts 40-60 minutes, with stairs and night walking adding an adventurous touch.
This experience is about 3:30 hrs in total, from pickup to drop-off. Please note the trail may pose challenges, including potential vertigo. In case of unfavorable weather, we’ll reschedule or offer an alternative tour.
