12 TIPS on How to Hike the PR1 Pico do Arieiro to Pico Ruivo on Madeira

One of the most special day hikes of the world, the Pico to Pico on the Portugese island of Madeira. Truly unique and beautiful. Start at the third highest mountain of the island and make your way to the highest peak called Pico Ruivo.

Madeira might not me that known to people for other things than being the childhood home of Cristiano Ronaldo, but it is completely worth your visit. Just a short flight away from Lisbon and you feel like you landed on one of the Hawaiian islands.
