Pico Ruivo, Madeira’s highest peak at 1861m (and one of the 1,515 ultra prominent peaks in the world, is still accessible from Achada do Teixeia (PR 1.2) or Encumeada (PR 1.3) for a more challenging walk!

New Madeira ad campaign on Eurosport

Madeira Islands have a new advertising campaign on the Eurosport platform (TV, internet and mobile) reaching more than 26 million people.

The goal is to promote Madeira internationally not just as a hiking destination but, more broadly, as an all year round nature tourism and active holidays destination.

Besides TV spots, there’s also a microsite with videos and pictures about the best outdoor activities in Madeira.

The Trekking video was done along some of Nature Meetings’s guided walks and at 2’20” you can even meet Gerry, our walk master! 😉

Walking Unguided in Madeira? Take WalkMe!

Madeira Unguided Levada Walks - WalkMe App for Android and iOSWe often receive requests from visitors who want to walk alone in Madeira.

So now we’ve partnered with the young, local team behind WalkMe – a mobile app that brings Madeira levada walks to your mobile or tablet.

Available for Android and iOS (iPhone and iPad), WalkMe was developed locally and aims to “unleash your explorer’s spirit and help you discover the natural wonders of Madeira Island!”

WalkMe includes more than 30 trails in Madeira, among which some of Madeira most iconic levada walks, such as Queimadas – Caldeirão Verde and The Peaks.

WalkMe wants to provide their customers access to top quality information about Madeira levada walks. Thus, every levada trail on WalkMe which Nature Meetings offers as a guided walk links directly to our website’s walk description for extra info.

For many good reasons, we believe you should always walk with a professional, certified mountain guide. Still, if you choose otherwise, WalkMe will keep you in very good company.
