Overview

This is as good as it gets! This walk will give you a more complete picture of the real beauty of this island. Rock formations seem to want to reach heaven like giant sculptures. Throughout the entire tour the views are simply breathtaking. A profusion of unique plants make this place their natural habitat. In springtime these plants proudly dress themselves in a myriad of colours, displaying their fragile flowers for all to see. Near Pico Ruivo we walk through the oldest heather forest. These ancient trees are many hundreds of years old and were already there when Zarco discovered and landed on the island for the first time. Pico Ruivo (the highest point on the island) is only a footstep away – be delighted and amazed with the magnificent views over the island. A fascinating walk with breathtaking landscapes designed for true explorers!

Fun time!

Published on Dec, 2024

Great and dramatic sites we saw across the island from waterfalls, to village festivals to dramatic mountain views! We loved it!

Excellent lavada beautiful scenery

Published on Aug, 2024

We had to change the location of the lavada due to the fires. However, we were not disappointed. Communication was excellent. Tour guide was a delight, very informative and engaging. The hike was amazing, at a perfect pace and duration. Every corner the sights were incredible. Lido tours are very well organized and I would definitely book again.

Great experience

Published on Aug, 2024

Ruby our guide, was fantastic. Pick up was prompt and navigated our group up the mountain with ease considering we did it on a really hot day. Really great walk.

Incredible views. Wonderful experience

Published on Aug, 2024

Sara was a was a wonderful guide. Managed our expectations throughout. White tough in parts but worth it. You have to have a reasonable level of fitness for it.

An unforgettable and amazing day

Published on Jul, 2024

This was, without doubt, the best day of our holiday. The views were amazing from the moment that we stepped off the mini-bus and just got better and better as the hike went on. The company have rated this walk as 'difficult' and it certainly was - the whole route is up or down and incorporates 7000 steps and 5 tunnels. It was tough going and you do need to have a pretty good level of fitness - but it was absolutely worth it and the total highlight of an excellent week away. The guide was great and the organisation from the company was smooth.
