Lakes of Madeira Hiking Trip

Madeira's lakes are a notable attraction on the Portuguese island. Explore them on a hiking route featuring waterfalls, streams, and lagoons.

Pickup will be from your hotel in Funchal at the scheduled time, and you will travel by minibus to the valley of the Paúl da Serra plateau.
