# Pico Arieiro To Pico Ruivo/With Trail entry Fee Included PR 1 + 1.2

**Guidekin's take:** The peak to peak hike with the trail entry fee already in the price, through tunnels and steep stretches with birds found only in these islands. If the trail is closed by landslides or weather the route is diverted; children must be over five. 4.59 from 68 reviews at €65 per person for 8h.

## Overview

Note: If the track is closed due to landslides, other natural factors or safety reasons, the track may be partially or completely deviated to an alternative path.

This hike connects two of the tallest peaks of Madeira Island. This is a stunning route, which includes tunnels and a few stretches with steep rises and descents, offering fabulous views of the island’s central massive.
It is also possible to observe several birds, some of which are exclusive to Macaronesia, such as the canary of the land (Serinus canaria), the petty of the field (Anthus berthelottii madeirensis) and the andorinhão-da-serra (Apus unicolor). 
Near the Pico Ruivo shelter is the track PR 1.2, which leads to the Achada do Teixeira. Already at Achada do Teixeira you can see the basaltic rock formation known as “Man in Foot”, located in the descent after passing through the shelter of Achada do Teixeira.
