My story
I've always loved hiking. It's been my passion for as long as I can remember, and it has taken me along trails in many countries. On Madeira it found its home, though I still leave the island regularly for hikes elsewhere.
I've called Madeira home for five years, and the island still surprises me. Every weekend I head out to explore it: on foot, by car, by bike, on my motorbike. And almost every time I find a new trail, a new viewpoint, a corner I didn't know was there.
Madeira Vibes is my way of sharing what I love most. Not a tour company with a schedule and a flag, just me, showing you the island the way I'd show a friend.
Madeira is full of famous spots, and they're famous for a reason: Pico do Arieiro, Caldeirão Verde, Ponta de São Lourenço. I'll happily take you there. But these places are often packed, and my real passion lies elsewhere: finding the places where there's almost no one. Lonely levadas, waterfalls you hear before you see them, natural river pools, epic trails above the clouds that never make it onto Instagram.
So yes, you'll get the iconic views. And you'll also get the hidden gems, the ones I've found myself and keep finding, weekend after weekend. Come over, I'd love to show you around, so you can feel the Madeira vibe too.
