Why take this tour?

This trail is located in the central Mountain Massif and connects the three highest peaks of the island. Beginning at Pico Arieiro (1810 m), it passes by Pico das Torres (1851 m) and ends at Pico Ruivo (1862 m). Walking over its many ups and downs using steps carved in the rocks, you will marvel at the rock formations of the central mountain range, the high-altitude endemic vegetation and the birds that are part of this ecosystem. When you arrive at the top of Pico Ruivo, there are three lookout points from which you have panoramic views of the island in every direction. We go down to Achada do Teixeira for the return!
