“We had booked to walk PR1 but unfortunately the route was closed due to the wildfires. We were offered a refund on our booking if we wanted but were very keen to hike whilst on Madeira. Nico offered us an alternative walk which was Larano - edge of paradise hike between Machico and Porto da Cruz and we were not disappointed. The hike was really beautiful and we were well guided by Benni who had knowledge of the island, landmarks, fruit, flowers and the local people of the area. It has been a pleasure to deal with Up Mountain Madeira from start to finish and we would certainly recommend them…”
