3 Day by day During Djoser walking tours do day hikes from our residence or we make a multi-day trek. Itineraries are not rigidly scheduled. On rest days you can make extra walks or do other things on your own. The tour leader can make suggestions. You are not obligated to participate in any activity. Those who prefer to go out independently, are free to do so. By the nature of our trips and local conditions there may be unexpected situations, which may cause a particular walk or activity to be canceled or adjusted. We travel in groups of about 12 and 15 persons. Funchal Day 1 - Funchal - Santana Day 2;Santana coastal walk São Lourenço You will meet the guide and other participants at the airport in the capital Funchal.Sailors called the city "Little Lisbon" because the typical Portuguese architectural style and grandeur of the cathedral. From Funchal we drive directly to our overnight quarters in he quiet village of Santana. It is one of the few places along this rugged coast where the land is suitable for agriculture. The rich volcanic soil makes three harvests possible per year. Although Santana is the main city of the north, it is not comparable to Funchal. The modern world has not yet replaced the traditional life here. The intensively cultivated terraces resemble a cross between Bali and the Alps. In this rural area you can find 'palheiros' traditional, small, thatched houses. The residents cook outside because of the fire hazard. Today most palheiros are used as cowsheds. The next day after a short bus ride we reach São Lourenço, the starting point of our first hike of about four hours. The eastern end of the island does not drop gracefully into the sea, but the country stops here abruptly at a high precipice that plunges straight into the sea. We follow a spectacular cliff path that offers beautiful views of the sea. This dry, rough and desolate eastern part of Madeira stands in stark contrast to the rest of the predominantly green island. After our coastal walk we drive back to the quiet village of Santana. Length: 8 km Walking time: about 3 hours Height difference: 180 m ascent and descent Santana, Porto Moniz
4 Day 3 Santana - Levada walk Queimadas to Ilha- Porto Moniz On a winding road through the woods, the bus takes us to Queimadas, in the interior. From here we walk about five hours through Caldeirão Verde, where we can have lunch at the waterfall, Ilha. We follow the irrigation canals that carry excess rainwater from the wetter north to the arid south. The walk is varied and spectacular. Lush, almost primary forests give way to beautiful views of the north coast and the Atlantic Ocean. We walk today through several tunnels. Keep a flashlight always close at hand. After a long descent, the bus picks us up again in Ilha. The nineteen-kilometer stretch of road between São Vicente and Porto Moniz is completely constructed by hand. It took sixteen years to get this done!. In Porto Moniz there are some strangely shaped rock pools that are created by volcanic activity. The sun warms the stagnant water quickly and diving is alluring. In rough weather the waves splash against the rocks dramatically high here and there are hidden pools hidden beneath the swirling waters. After the hike, a glass of madeira tastes especially nice with a backdrop of the setting sun. The local wine is the most famous export product of the island. After about fifteen years of agin in oak barrels, this wine develops a sophisticated finish with about 20 percent alcohol. Length: 11 km Walking time: about 5 hours in altitude: 530 m 50 m rise and fall Day 4 Porto Moniz - Levada walk to Rabaçal Florenças - Ribeira Brava We leave Porto Moniz and take the road to Ribeira Brava a Levada walk from Cristo Rei. We walk across the highland plateau and follow a Levada to the south coast; a walk of about five hours. Along this winding irrigation path, sometimes you have to make room for shepherds with goats or cows. Sometimes they use some of the caves along the path as overnight accommodation. We pass Rabaçal, a lovely place. The name means "untouched virgin"; if you look over the green valley below, it is not difficult to understand how they came to the name. After Rabaçal we continue Levada through a long tunnel before it connects to another irrigation channel that we follow to Florenças. For those who love purple flowers, "The Pride of Madeira", colorful oleander, wild agapanthus and hydragena thrive here, because of the mild climate throughout the year. It makes the paths cheerful. Madeira is known as' "the flower of the Atlantic." We stay on the south coast in the cozy town of Ribeira Brava. You'll find a lively promenade with attractive shops and you will see examples of the typical Madeirenzer architecture: houses with decorative balconies and green window shutters. Length: 13 km Walking time: about 5 hours in altitude: 50 m 650 m rise and fall Ribeira Brava
5 Day 5 Ribeira Brava; Levada walk Lombo do Moura Today we drive into the mountains for a hike of about six hour south of Encumeada. We walk a section along the Levada do Lombo do Mouro and finally along the Levada do Norte. The adventurous hike goes past waterfalls and through tunnels. Don't forget your poncho and flashlight today. In clear weather we enjoy magnificent views along the way Day 6 Ribeira Brava -"Balcony Walk" Pico Ruivo - Funchal Early in the morning we travel by bus to Pico do Arieiro, the starting point of the challenging "balcony walk" which is about a five hour walk to the summit of Pico Ruivo, Madeira's highest mountain (6112 feet). This hike is considered one of the most spectacular of the island! The last part goes along a nice paved path between blocks of rocks and weathered trees where ferns grow. In good weather the views are spectacular. As you climb the Pico do Gato and Pico das Torres, sometimes it is cloudy and you hike through the mists. After the walk we drive to Funchal. Here we can relax in the restaurants and you can find a nice place on the harbor on a terrace. Try 'espada', a long black fish, served with banana, a tasty local specialty. Length: 14 km Walking time: about 5.5 hours in altitude: 200 m 750 m rise and fall Funchal Day 7 Funchal Day 8 Funchal - The last day in Funchal is at your leisure. At the 'Mercado dos Lavradores', the walled market in the heart of the city, you see buckets full of exotic flowers. This is a great place to get familiar with local customs and taste a "bolo" (a sandwich with a variety of flavors) and a "Bica" (a very small cup of strong espresso) in one of the many pastelarias. You have several options. For example, walk in the footsteps of Columbus with a boat ride on a replica of the Santa Maria, or take a catamaran to spot dolphins. Or visit one of the many embroidery factories. These were previously set up to ensure there was work for the poor. Now entire families work at home making vast tablecloths that are known for their beautiful floral designs and excellent quality. Of course, at the conclusion of your trip you can, do what most tourist do take the cable car to the botanical gardens at Monte. Our trip comes to an end in Funchal. Length: 8 km Walking time: about 5 hours elevation: 500 m 750 m rise and fall

TRAVEL INSURANCE IS REQUIRED FOR THIS TRIP. Insurance - For peace of mind, we recommend that you procure travel insurance. In the event of an illness or injury, an emergency evacuation can be incredibly expensive and you would want access to the best possible facility. Also, lost baggage or missed flights can mean added expenses. Even events at home may prevent you from taking a trip, such as a lost job or ailing family member. It is important to get travel insurance immediately after booking. Most companies have a brief window (within 10
11 days of booking) for coverage for a preexisting condition. You will be asked to provide us with travel insurance contact information before your departure. You are free to choose your own provider. Over the years, we have recommended TRAVELEX. They offer a variety of plans and most importantly, they are responsive. Should you choose to go with TRAVELEX, you will contact them directly and the cost of your coverage will depend on the plan you choose. The cost will be based over the total cost of your trip and flights, and the amount is also subject to your age. Ask about the TRAVEL PLUS plan and the more economical TRAVEL LITE plan. * Arrange for insurance immediately after booking your trip so that you are covered for any pre-existing situation.
