Hiking the Madeira Island Ultra Trail was one of the toughest trails I've ever done. 115km's from Porto Moniz to Machico, visiting many of the island's tallest peaks along the way. 8000 meters of incline made the 4-day journey a brutal adventure through some of Madeira's most beautiful regions.
My hiking guide: I did this hike with a local guide (also a great friend) called João. He’s lived in Madeira his whole life and knows all of the unique trails (not just the popular ones). This trail requires some local knowledge for the directions so I recommend a guide. Want to contact João to be your guide for this hike or any of the hikes I’ve done on Madeira? You can contact him on Instagram here: / joao_lets_hike or by email: joaoletshike@gmail.com

@JoaoMFaria 3 года назад

Hey jackson, I'm Joao who works in MIUT organization. The path that was not maintained is called "Boca do Pau de Louro". It's is an old Shepperd path that cuts directly "Faja do Capitao" to the PR that leads to Pico Ruivo. As it's not as scenic and not as well know by locals it's not used as much, so a lot of "plague" plants grow on it. We usually just clean it a couple of months prior to the race. Nevertheless it was really cool seeing you do the course. Hope to see you soon out there!

@JacksonGroves 3 года назад

Yea we figured there were a few sections that would be much cleaner for runners with the cleaning that happens before the race. Yea that one en route to Ruivo was really bad lucky we carried a machete. There will be a few sections that will take a lot of time to clean because no race this year made them thick. Great route overall :) Planning to run MIUT this year if it's on!

@MigsMTB 3 года назад

It's amazing to think many of these trails were built and carved a couple hundred years ago. My family is from Madeira and I wish to hike some of these "unknown" trails, and not just the typical/populated ones everybody seems to know. Nice video, editing and dialogue, Jackson. Must have taken a while. There was even a point when I thought you were Portuguese because of the way you were pronouncing some of the names.

Been twice. Love the place and the people. On the hill man and boy, wife wouldn't let me strut my stuff the last time 'cos my eyesight is failing but I aim to chat up my brother, another hillman to give this MIUT a go with me. I love the exposure in parts of the trail. Last time the Missus and I were sitting outside having coffee in Funchal when the young waitress asked if we had been there before? My wife said, No. The girl looked at me as I said "Yes", under the stare of my wife. "When?" "1968", said I. The girl beamed as she looked at me and said, "So, you will have the same memories as the old people." "Yes." I had to explain to my wife that this was not her saying I was old but in fact it was a compliment. She was saying that I knew Portugal and Madeira and how the people lived under Salazar and his secret Police......Best Wishes from Scotland. I'll be back. McIntyre
