Creator's Key Takeaways

We are taking you to the beautiful island of Madera. And on this 7-day itinerary, we're going to be taking you to jaw-dropping viewpoints, epic hikes, natural swimming pools, and hidden gems you cannot miss.

We would recommend going and seeing sunrise and immediately after driving here and doing the hike even before you have breakfast just so you can go when it does not get too packed.

If you're looking for a fairy tale vibe, definitely check this spot out while you're visiting.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring layers and rain jackets due to frequent weather changes.
Consider sunset instead of sunrise for less crowded experiences.
Book hiking permits online in advance for all trails.
Use a rental car for exploring outside Funchel, but avoid driving in the city center.
