Do you feel like you need some time to reset? Was work too much lately, and you need to rewind, or are you just looking for some new experience? Come join me for adventure to this eye-widening trip to an island full of colors and magical energies, Madeira. I'm a passionate traveller, currently on a mission to spread the happiness in the world, cultivating the joy in mind & body via exploring different cultures and connecting to other like-minded beings. Since I stayed in Madeira for the first time in 2021 I am absolutely obsessed with the energy of this island. I would like to introduce it to you in my eyes. Are you looking to explore yourself, connect to nature, explore not so touristy places of the island? Let’s do it together! Let’s take advantage of this Hawaii of Europe to the maximum, we will enjoy all the variety of the flora in different parts of the island. We will share a nice house together. The house has 3 private bedrooms with double-beds and 2 bathrooms. Snacks & Fruits included in the price of the trip, for bigger meals I would suggest we do some cooking together or explore local cuisine outside on own expense. The price includes: - Accommodation (shared house) - Car rental - Petrol Our shared accommodation is located close to Machico, a lovely coastal town in a picturesque valley. We will have a car to explore the whole island during our stay, but this will be our home for the whole duration. Sunrise over the ocean or on top of the highest mountain, beautiful hiking paths, getting lost in mystical forest, enjoying vibrant capital city vibes and local food, chill on the coast and settle our mind during sunsets and much, much more. Check the full itinerary below!

PR8 Verada da Ponta de São Lourenço
Day 1-2
Our first full day (Day 1) all together on the island, we will start strong with a sunrise hike in Ponta de São Lourenço. Even though this is one of the most popular hiking paths on the island (for a good reason!), we will beat the main tourist wave by starting early. Watching the sunset over the ocean with the peninsula in front of us will give us a good enough boost for the day! After we complete this hike, there is a sweet reward waiting for us on the way back, we will dip in the Atlantic Ocean & relax on a cute little black sand beach.
