Pico do Areeiro

Portuguese island, Portugal

Pico do Areeiro is the third-highest peak on Madeira, a Portuguese island, reaching 1,818 meters above sea level and offering sweeping panoramic views over the island’s rugged mountain landscape and, on clear days, as far as the neighboring island of Porto Santo.

Easily accessible by road and located about a 30- to 40-minute drive from Funchal, its summit features a large car park, a restaurant, and visitor amenities, making it a popular year-round destination for both sightseers and hikers. The area is renowned for dramatic scenery with craggy peaks often rising above a sea of clouds, especially at sunrise, and is the starting point for the iconic and challenging PR1 hiking trail to Pico Ruivo, the island’s highest mountain.

Pico do Areeiro stands out as one of Madeira’s must-see natural highlights for outdoor enthusiasts and anyone seeking breathtaking mountain vistas.
