About this experience

Hiking Pico Areeiro to Ninho da Manta

We start our tour with an amazing view at Pico Areeiro, from where we will have a small hike (and back) to Ninho da Manta. On the way to there you can expect dramatic landscapes, a unique flora and a tour-experience which makes your friends green like envy. The way back and forth is around 45 minutes in total.

Picnic & Sunset

Natural cinema: Picture yourself having a picnic with local snacks amidst the stunning scenery of Pico Areeiro, when the sun goes down. The clouds, the light, good company and a nice drink in your hand. Paradise!

Poncha Time: cheers to the moment!

Let's toast to an epic memory! In true Heartbeat Madeira tours style, we'll hit up a local Poncha bar for a taste of the island's finest drink. This time in Camacha in one of their small bars, where usually no tourist is found.

PLEASE BE AWARE IN CASE OF BAD WEATHER WE WILL CHANGE THE ACTIVITY TO THE SOUTHWEST COAST TO LOOK FOR A GOOD VIEW FOR THE SUNSET.
