Curral das Freiras

The bizarr mountain scapes of Madeira are famous. The popular hiking tour between the two highest peaks Pico Ruivi to Pico do Areeiro is pretty exhausting. Not because of the 6 km distance but because of the extreme difference in altitude due to the several valleys that you need to pass. Rewarded with views like this, it's worth every drop of sweat. Rising fog increases the mysterious mood, but sometimes obscures the entire view. I would love to do this hike again in spring, when all the flowers are blooming.
