IMPORTANT NOTICE ❗️

Due to road rehabilitation works on ER202, there will be nighttime traffic interruptions that may affect our sunrise hike to Pico do Areeiro. The closures are planned as follows:

🅰️ Phase 1: August 5 to August 17, 2024, from 19:00 to 07:00, between the Caminho Florestal access to Eira do Serrado intersection and Pico do Areeiro.

🅱️ Phase 2: August 19 to August 31, 2024, from 19:00 to 07:00, between the Caminho Florestal access to Eira do Serrado intersection and Poiso.

If reaching Pico do Areeiro for sunrise becomes unfeasible, we will adjust our PR1 hike organization. The hike will start at Achada do Teixeira, proceeding to Pico Ruivo and then to Pico do Areeiro, which will be our new pick-up point after the hike. Note that the transfer start times might change and will be earlier than usual.

We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. We will notify you via WhatsApp or email about changes.

Fanal is a unique and enchanting place in Madeira known for its ancient laurel forest and majestic landscapes. The history of Fanal is closely tied to the island’s natural and cultural heritage:

1. Geological Formation: Fanal is located in the heart of Madeira’s Laurisilva Forest, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The laurel forest ecosystem with many endemic spaces in Fanal has remained relatively unchanged since the Tertiary period, making it one of the most well-preserved laurel forests in the world, which become extinct in Europe during the ice ages.

2. Indigenous Settlement: The area around Fanal has been inhabited by humans since ancient times.

3. Agricultural History: Historically, Fanal was used for agricultural purposes by local communities. Farmers would cultivate small plots of land in the surrounding areas, using traditional agricultural practices such as terracing and irrigation.

4. Conservation Efforts: In recent years, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of preserving Fanal’s unique ecosystem. Conservation efforts have been undertaken to protect the biodiversity of the laurel forest and ensure its survival for future generations to enjoy.

Today, Fanal remains a popular destination for nature lovers, hikers, and tourists seeking to experience the beauty and tranquility of Madeira’s natural landscapes. We head off there on every Thursday and Saturday.

The tunnels between Pico do Areeiro and Pico Ruivo in Madeira were constructed to facilitate access and enhance the hiking experience. These tunnels were manually carved through the rugged terrain of the mountains, showcasing impressive engineering and labor-intensive efforts. The construction involved excavating through rock and reinforcing the passages to ensure stability. The purpose of these tunnels is to provide hikers with a protected and convenient path, allowing them to traverse the challenging landscape while enjoying the breathtaking views of the Madeiran mountains.
