Fantastic Hike - My original trip to Fanal couldn't be hiked because of a large fire in the area, so Paulo contacted me the day before and very kindly offered me a walk of my choice. I let Paulo decide and he took me on a beautiful quieter levada walk away from the crowds (which is what I was looking for). His knowledge and passion for Madeira and the flora and fauna was fantastic and made the trip so much more enjoyable, and after the hike we stopped off to try the traditional poncha drink. Amazing guide and will use again

Great Hike at Fanal - The Hike with Paulo was absolutely great. I got to know a lot about hiking and sports at Madeira as well as plants and culture like typical food and drinks. We had a nice route and the most amazing views. We also got a Poncha after the hike, which was a great experience to try.
I definitely recommend him for a hike!
