“Madeira, Portugal – Madeira, along with the Azores, is one of Portugal’s Atlantic archipelagoes which has traditionally been famous for its hearty wines and laid-back lifestyle. Recently, Madeira has been increasingly popping up on the adventure tourism radar thanks to its world-class surfing, lush interior and stunning trails along its misty volcanic ridges. The most rewarding climb is definitely Arieiro, a rocky peak whose trails take travelers through verdant eucalyptus forests to a lunar landscape high above the clouds. (Photo by Naxos)”
