Portugal news - Condé Nast explores Madeira’s Stairway to Heaven, Pico do Areeiro, that leads to the island’s rooftop, in its Nature review.
The Macaronesian volcanic territory is the place where an impressive stairway leads to the sky of Madeira, for the adventurous travelers who are prepared to climb between ridges to reach the top.
The sensational route leads to the roof of Madeira, the emblematic Pico Ruivo, at 1,862 meters above sea level. While climbing up to Madeira’s rooftop is one of the most popular activities on the island, it is possible to get there by car, guarantees Condé Nast Traveler, Jose Miguel Barrantes Martin.
At the Pedra Rija viewpoint, a steep staircase rises to the top of a rocky outcrop that reaches to the sky. It is one of the most striking and photographed points of Madeira where the immensity of the highest peaks of the island overshadows the valley where the popular town of Curral das Freiras is located.
With the mysterious sea of clouds that hides the valleys below, Madeira’s Stairway to Heaven is enchanting, while its fairytale sunsets point the way to Portugal’s dreamy island.
