Madeira

Madeira absolutely took our breath away. We spent 9 days exploring this dramatic Portuguese island off the coast of Africa, and it’s honestly one of the most spectacular places we’ve ever hiked. Towering sea cliffs, lush laurel forests, unique levada walks, and views that make you stop and just stare. Madeira is a hiking paradise that most Americans haven’t even heard of yet. Here’s everything we discovered so you can experience it for yourself.
