The activity will always be in a private group (1 to 4 people). You choose which hike you want to do from 15 options. Just book and send a message with the route you want to take.
You will be guided by me, Paulo Jesus. I was born and live on the island, and I am a certified mountain guide. I offer several types of hikes in the Levadas in the heart of the endemic Laurissilva forest, as well as trails along the ocean, and last but not least, equally spectacular mountain trails.
Included: access and reservation fee for the routes, transport, insurance, Portugal Tourism licence, and a local guide certified by Portugal Tourism.
