Amazing walk in the laurisilva forest of Madeira on the Calderão Verde path.
Excellent guide, who looked after everyone and was very knowledgeable. Great walk. Shame the booked walk is still not open due to 2024 forest fires, but the alternative was still beautiful.
5 Stars – Active, social, and full of great memories I did the Pico Arieiro to Pico Ruivo hike with Nature Meetings on 3 April 2025, and it was a splendid experience. Our guide, Nestor, was super approachable and knowledgeable—he shared loads of interesting info about Madeira’s plants, wildlife, and culture, along with great tips for food, drinks (including where to find real Poncha), and nightlife in Funchal. The weather was a bit unpredictable that day, so the route had to be slightly adjusted—but it was still an active hike, we got in some proper climbing, and took some decent photos along the way. The group was also a highlight—a fun and friendly mix of people, which made it a perfect chance to socialise while hiking. That part alone was 5/5. Highly recommend Nature Meetings if you want more than just a walk—you get nature, stories, laughs, and a proper sense of connection to the island.
