Hello there, I'm Cláudio, a certified mountain guide born and raised in the beautiful island of Madeira. As a true local, I have a deep love and passion for the mountains and natural beauty of my island, and I would love to share my knowledge and expertise with you. My goal as a guide is to create a memorable experience for visitors who come to Madeira seeking adventure and stunning views. I specialize in hiking tours, where I take you on some of the most breathtaking trails that the island has to offer. As a fan of the local cuisine, I like to incorporate some of the island's delicious foods into my tours. You can expect to taste traditional Madeiran snacks such as bolo do caco (our local bread) and queijadas (small sweet cakes), as well as indulge in local dishes like espetada (grilled meat skewers), and fresh seafood such as espada (black scabbardfish), which is a Madeiran specialty. I've been working as a guide since 2019, but my passion for hiking started long before that. I have been exploring the mountains of Madeira since I was a child, and I know the island's terrain like the back of my hand. My goal is to show you the most interesting and stunning sights while ensuring your safety at all times. With a degree in biology, health, and environment, I have a deep understanding and appreciation for the natural beauty of the island. My tours are designed to not only showcase the stunning landscapes but also to educate visitors about the island's flora, fauna, and environment. I hope to be that guide who leaves you with lasting memories of Madeira Island and the desire to return. Whether you're a seasoned hiker or a beginner, I promise to tailor your experience to your level of expertise, ensuring you have an unforgettable adventure. Let's explore the stunning mountains of Madeira Island together! Certified Mountain Guide Tourism Portugal license Don´t do tours in museums

We are going to do a "levada" in a circular route during the afternoon, without the big crowds in the morning. A "levada" full of history that led to one of the most important revolutions in Madeira (in 1962) due to this precious commodity that is water. Start in an agricultural area and then enter a mountain area with breathtaking views. At the end of the day we go to a local restaurant and taste a local Poncha (the regional drink)
Pickup is done at the hotel or at the point indicated by you, then we will travel along the south coast to "Lombada" in the village of "Ponta do Sol" about 30 minutes from Funchal. We will start our walk at 16:00 and cover about 8. 5 km in about 3:30 hours, just before changing from "Levada Nova" to the old "Levada do Moinho" we will go through a tunnel and find a fantastic waterfall. On the way back to Funchal we will stop at the village of "Estreito Camara de Lobos" to eat a espetada and taste the local drink "poncha". The itinerary is flexible, for any changes please let me know.
