A trek as demanding as it is spectacular, crossing the island from south-east to north-west through magnificent volcanic landscapes. With more than 8000 metres of cumulative elevation gain, the route strings together steep climbs, airy ridges and dizzying descents in the heart of lush nature. From the famous levadas to rugged peaks like Pico Ruivo, every stage offers sumptuous panoramas over the Atlantic and valleys still covered in primary forest.
