        Madeira Hiking Trip with Marisa Mae

        MADEIRA HIKING TRIP

          Madeira Hiking Adventure with Marisa Mae
          – Sweet paradise in the middle of the Atlantic!

          An incredible hiking tour on one of the most beautiful Portuguese islands, the Pearl of the Atlantic! If you are a hiking lover, this is the ideal opportunity to discover Madeira and its unique characteristics. Madeira was created by volcanic eruptions and erosion throughout the years. This shaped the island by creating bizarre rock formations and deep gorges.

          The best Madeira trails are full of wonders, and you will discover them as you hike on the mountains, cliffs, and levadas. The levadas are part of an extensive network of small irrigation channels with gentle slopes, very typical of Madeira island, and a perfect path for any adventurous hiker! Breathtaking sceneries and natural highlights, such as the natural pools of Porto Moniz and the Laurissilva Forest (both UNESCO Natural World Heritage sites), will leave you stunned and amazed! It’s your time to explore this hiking paradise!

          Your Host: Marisa Mae, Personal Trainer

          Marisa has trained clients 1:1 and in small groups, online and in person, from her base in Vancouver for over 15 years.

                Perched on the furthest tip of Iceland’s Westfjords, this peninsula is the most remote and wild backcountry region of Iceland. It is only accessible by boat.

Waterfalls thunder down mountains, the midnight sun kisses the ocean, cliffs plummet to the sea and the mighty Drangajökull glacier overlooks the scene.
                NOTE – You must have backcountry camping experience to participate in this expedition – rated moderate to challenging.
