A great way to experience the beautiful island of Madeira. The three different locations gave us time to experience more than just the hiking, time to swim in the seawater pools in Porto Moniz and free time in Funchal were welcome. A sociable week in the company of fellow hikers. Filipe was an excellent trip leader.
