an exotic island and has several micro climates. It can be extremely hot in the south and rainy in the north. In fact, it rains quite a lot and that's why its vegetation is so green and lush. So make sure you have both summer and spring\/fall clothes. Of course the inevitable hat and sunscreen.<br><br>If you know you're going to be hiking, it's a good idea to have non-slip sneakers that are more or less suitable for the activity. We have a pair of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportguru.ro\/pantofi-alergare-trail-dama-hoka-speedgoat-5-ss-2024\">Hoka <\/a><\/strong>which are for trails as well as trail running. They've been a great help to us here, we've tested them on flat as well as sandy terrain and they've coped brilliantly.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery .kb-gallery-type-grid.kb-gallery-id-982_258dae-3a{margin:-7.5px;}.kb-gallery-type-grid.kb-gallery-id-982_258dae-3a .kadence-blocks-gallery-item{padding:7.5px;}.kb-gallery-id-982_258dae-3a .kadence-blocks-gallery-item .kb-gal-image-radius, .kb-gallery-id-982_258dae-3a .kb-slide-item .kb-gal-image-radius img{border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery.kb-gallery-wrap-id-982_258dae-3a{overflow:visible;}.kb-gallery-id-982_258dae-3a .kadence-blocks-gallery-item .kb-gal-image-radius, .kb-gallery-id-982_258dae-3a .kadence-blocks-gallery-thumb-item .kb-gal-image-radius{box-shadow:4px 2px 14px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);}.kb-gallery-id-982_258dae-3a .kadence-blocks-gallery-item:hover .kb-gal-image-radius, .kb-gallery-id-982_258dae-3a .kadence-blocks-gallery-thumb-item:hover .kb-gal-image-radius{box-shadow:4px 2px 14px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);}<\/style><div class=\"kb-gallery-wrap-id-982_258dae-3a alignnone wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery\"><ul class=\"kb-gallery-ul kb-gallery-non-static kb-gallery-type-grid kb-gallery-id-982_258dae-3a kb-gallery-caption-style-bottom-hover kb-gallery-filter-none\" data-image-filter=\"none\" data-item-selector=\".kadence-blocks-gallery-item\" data-lightbox-caption=\"true\" data-columns-xxl=\"2\" data-columns-xl=\"2\" data-columns-md=\"2\" data-columns-sm=\"2\" data-columns-xs=\"1\" data-columns-ss=\"1\"><li class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item-inner\"><figure class=\"kb-gallery-figure kadence-blocks-gallery-item-hide-caption\"><div class=\"kb-gal-image-radius\" style=\"max-width:768px;\"><div class=\"kb-gallery-image-contain kadence-blocks-gallery-intrinsic kb-gallery-image-ratio-inherit kb-has-image-ratio-inherit\" style=\"padding-bottom:133%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/87161fc1-3c66-46f5-9d7f-0640d61c167f-768x1024.jpeg\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"\" data-full-image=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/87161fc1-3c66-46f5-9d7f-0640d61c167f.jpeg\" data-light-image=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/87161fc1-3c66-46f5-9d7f-0640d61c167f.jpeg\" data-id=\"1031\" class=\"wp-image-1031\" srcset=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/87161fc1-3c66-46f5-9d7f-0640d61c167f-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/87161fc1-3c66-46f5-9d7f-0640d61c167f-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/87161fc1-3c66-46f5-9d7f-0640d61c167f-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/87161fc1-3c66-46f5-9d7f-0640d61c167f-9x12.jpeg 9w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/87161fc1-3c66-46f5-9d7f-0640d61c167f.jpeg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/figure><\/div><\/li><li class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item-inner\"><figure class=\"kb-gallery-figure kadence-blocks-gallery-item-hide-caption\"><div class=\"kb-gal-image-radius\" style=\"max-width:768px;\"><div class=\"kb-gallery-image-contain kadence-blocks-gallery-intrinsic kb-gallery-image-ratio-inherit kb-has-image-ratio-inherit\" style=\"padding-bottom:133%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_5782-768x1024.jpeg\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"\" data-full-image=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_5782.jpeg\" data-light-image=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_5782.jpeg\" data-id=\"1032\" class=\"wp-image-1032\" srcset=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_5782-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_5782-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_5782-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_5782-9x12.jpeg 9w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_5782.jpeg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/figure><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8 days itinerary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the following I will present you the itinerary that we have made and recommend.

The mystical landscape of frequent mist surrounding the centuries-old moss-covered daffodil trees gives it this title.

It's an extremely good place for professional photographers as all the trees have some really interesting shapes and put creativity to work.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery.kb-gallery-wrap-id-982_3fc4e5-2a{overflow:hidden;}.kb-gallery-id-982_3fc4e5-2a .kadence-blocks-gallery-item .kb-gal-image-radius, .kb-gallery-id-982_3fc4e5-2a .kb-slide-item .kb-gal-image-radius img{border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;;}.kb-gallery-wrap-id-982_3fc4e5-2a.wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery{overflow:visible;}.kb-gallery-wrap-id-982_3fc4e5-2a.wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery .kt-blocks-carousel{overflow:visible;}<\/style><div class=\"kb-gallery-wrap-id-982_3fc4e5-2a alignnone wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery\"><div class=\"kb-gallery-ul kb-gallery-non-static kb-gallery-type-carousel kb-gallery-id-982_3fc4e5-2a kb-gallery-caption-style-bottom-hover kb-gallery-filter-none\" data-image-filter=\"none\" data-lightbox-caption=\"true\"><div class=\"kt-blocks-carousel splide kt-carousel-container-dotstyle-none kt-carousel-arrowstyle-whiteondark kt-carousel-dotstyle-none kb-slider-group-arrow kb-slider-arrow-position-center\" data-columns-xxl=\"2\" data-columns-xl=\"2\" data-columns-md=\"2\" data-columns-sm=\"2\" data-columns-xs=\"1\" data-columns-ss=\"1\" data-slider-anim-speed=\"400\" data-slider-scroll=\"1\" data-slider-arrows=\"true\" data-slider-dots=\"false\" data-slider-hover-pause=\"false\" data-slider-auto=\"\" data-slider-speed=\"7000\" data-slider-gap=\"10px\" data-slider-gap-tablet=\"10px\" data-slider-gap-mobile=\"10px\" data-show-pause-button=\"false\" data-slider-label=\"Photo Gallery Carousel\"><div class=\"splide__track\"><ul class=\"kt-blocks-carousel-init kb-gallery-carousel splide__list\"><li class=\"kb-slide-item kb-gallery-carousel-item splide__slide\"><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item\"><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item-inner\"><figure class=\"kb-gallery-figure kadence-blocks-gallery-item-hide-caption\"><div class=\"kb-gal-image-radius\"><div class=\"kb-gallery-image-contain kadence-blocks-gallery-intrinsic kb-gallery-image-ratio-inherit kb-has-image-ratio-inherit\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_4533-768x1024.jpeg\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"\" data-full-image=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_4533.jpeg\" data-light-image=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_4533.jpeg\" data-id=\"1055\" class=\"wp-image-1055 skip-lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_4533-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_4533-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_4533-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_4533-9x12.jpeg 9w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_4533.jpeg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/li><li class=\"kb-slide-item kb-gallery-carousel-item splide__slide\"><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item\"><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item-inner\"><figure class=\"kb-gallery-figure kadence-blocks-gallery-item-hide-caption\"><div class=\"kb-gal-image-radius\"><div class=\"kb-gallery-image-contain kadence-blocks-gallery-intrinsic kb-gallery-image-ratio-inherit kb-has-image-ratio-inherit\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_4661-1024x768.jpeg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" alt=\"\" data-full-image=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_4661.jpeg\" data-light-image=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_4661.jpeg\" data-id=\"1056\" class=\"wp-image-1056 skip-lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_4661-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_4661-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_4661-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_4661-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_4661-16x12.jpeg 16w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_4661.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing we've done and I suggest you do it too, especially if it's as clear as we caught it: as soon as you're among the trees and you see the hill in front of you, climb the path made by other people.

Nu este un traseu greu, mai ales pe drumul de dus, este chiar lejer. Ultima por\u021biune pentru a ajunge la cap\u0103tul insulei este o urcare foarte sus\u021binut\u0103 cu ni\u0219te trepte s\u0103pate \u00een p\u0103m\u00e2nt extrem de \u00eenalte.

the most beautiful sunrise ever spotted: Pico do Arieiro<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Probably the most awaited moment of the vacation was the sunrise at <strong>Pico do Arieiro<\/strong>. Because during September-October the sun rises at 8am, so our wake up time was decent at 5:30am. From Arco da Calheta we drove about an hour and 15 minutes to the parking lot, and from there we climbed another 15 minutes to the view point. I recommend getting to the parking lot quickly though because it fills up very quickly. Before choosing when to come to Madeira, also check the sunrise time.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery .kb-gallery-type-grid.kb-gallery-id-982_3e8086-01{margin:-7.5px;}.kb-gallery-type-grid.kb-gallery-id-982_3e8086-01 .kadence-blocks-gallery-item{padding:7.5px;}.kb-gallery-id-982_3e8086-01 .kadence-blocks-gallery-item .kb-gal-image-radius, .kb-gallery-id-982_3e8086-01 .kb-slide-item .kb-gal-image-radius img{border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery.kb-gallery-wrap-id-982_3e8086-01{overflow:visible;}.kb-gallery-id-982_3e8086-01 .kadence-blocks-gallery-item .kb-gal-image-radius, .kb-gallery-id-982_3e8086-01 .kadence-blocks-gallery-thumb-item .kb-gal-image-radius{box-shadow:4px 2px 14px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);}.kb-gallery-id-982_3e8086-01 .kadence-blocks-gallery-item:hover .kb-gal-image-radius, .kb-gallery-id-982_3e8086-01 .kadence-blocks-gallery-thumb-item:hover .kb-gal-image-radius{box-shadow:4px 2px 14px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);}<\/style><div class=\"kb-gallery-wrap-id-982_3e8086-01 alignnone wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery\"><ul class=\"kb-gallery-ul kb-gallery-non-static kb-gallery-type-grid kb-gallery-id-982_3e8086-01 kb-gallery-caption-style-bottom-hover kb-gallery-filter-none\" data-image-filter=\"none\" data-item-selector=\".kadence-blocks-gallery-item\" data-lightbox-caption=\"true\" data-columns-xxl=\"2\" data-columns-xl=\"2\" data-columns-md=\"2\" data-columns-sm=\"2\" data-columns-xs=\"1\" data-columns-ss=\"1\"><li class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item-inner\"><figure class=\"kb-gallery-figure kadence-blocks-gallery-item-hide-caption\"><div class=\"kb-gal-image-radius\" style=\"max-width:768px;\"><div class=\"kb-gallery-image-contain kadence-blocks-gallery-intrinsic kb-gallery-image-ratio-inherit kb-has-image-ratio-inherit\" style=\"padding-bottom:133%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_5767-768x1024.jpeg\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"\" data-full-image=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_5767.jpeg\" data-light-image=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_5767.jpeg\" data-id=\"1097\" class=\"wp-image-1097\" srcset=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_5767-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_5767-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_5767-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_5767-9x12.jpeg 9w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_5767.jpeg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/figure><\/div><\/li><li class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item-inner\"><figure class=\"kb-gallery-figure kadence-blocks-gallery-item-hide-caption\"><div class=\"kb-gal-image-radius\" style=\"max-width:768px;\"><div class=\"kb-gallery-image-contain kadence-blocks-gallery-intrinsic kb-gallery-image-ratio-inherit kb-has-image-ratio-inherit\" style=\"padding-bottom:133%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_5871-768x1024.jpeg\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"\" data-full-image=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_5871.jpeg\" data-light-image=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_5871.jpeg\" data-id=\"1100\" class=\"wp-image-1100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_5871-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_5871-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_5871-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_5871-9x12.jpeg 9w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_5871.jpeg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/figure><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As gorgeous and special as this sunrise was, and as much as we wished it was clear and we could actually see the perfectly round sun, we were disappointed that the most spectacular and familiar route, <strong>Pico-to-Pico<\/strong>, was closed due to vegetation fires.

there was not a corner left unexplored both on foot and by car. It's a beautiful island, a paradise of Europe full of banana plantations, very high green mountains, fabulous wild hydrangeas and diverse beaches.
