Description

Would you like to discover an off the beaten path trail in the lovely Madeira? Then join me on this thrilling half-day adventure and discover the beautiful landscapes of this magical island!

The Poço das Pulgas Footpath is located to the north of the island and is an uncrowded hiking path in one of the most stunning spots in Madeira. The narrow trail is circular and goes through hilly terrain along the coast of Ribeira da Camisa, leading to a breathtaking waterfall and a native forest. On this half-day adventure, I will lead you through this remote hiking haven.

This program takes place on Tuesdays. You will be picked up at the hotel in the morning and we will drive to the starting point of our hike. Keep in mind that the footpath is 8.5km long and the terrain is demanding. Therefore, it is important that you are physically fit, that you have prior hiking experience, that you do not suffer vertigo and that you enjoy adrenaline-filled adventures! Of course, I will be there every step of the way to help and guide you.

So, are you ready for a thrilling hike in Madeira? Then book your place now and get ready for an amazing day in the Poço das Pulgas hiking trail.

I also offer easy day hikes in Madeira, if you would like a more relaxed program!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
