Very low-key and beautiful trail with beautiful views of the water and the jungle. Visit this trail before it becomes too famous by social media and gets busy. It was quiet, peaceful, beautiful scenery. Mostly flat with a couple of down hills. Total hike including return and raking photos is between 3-4 hours. The hike can extend to 35 kms. 3-4 hours is to risco. You can continue the hike further depending on your plans. See the mal below

Absolutely stunning cliff walk. We started from the trail head just outside Porto da Cruz, there's no car park but plenty of space to pull over on the side of the road. It's quiet compared to the other more popular hikes in Madeira, but definitely not any less beautiful! We started on a rough track through woods with some waterfalls which later transitioned to the cliff side walk. Once we finished the cliff walk and re-entered wooded area we decided to turnaround and return to Porto da Cruz - the trail mainly flat apart from one or two sets of steps to cross streams at the start. There are no amenities on this hike so come prepared!

One of the most breathtaking coastal hikes in Madeira! 🌊🌿 Vereda do Larano connects Porto da Cruz with Machico and follows an old coastal path high above the cliffs. The trail offers nonstop views of the Atlantic, dramatic cliffs plunging into the sea, and green valleys stretching inland. On clear days, the panorama is jaw-dropping, but even in mist or passing clouds it has a wild, adventurous atmosphere. The path itself is relatively narrow at times, with some exposed sections, but it is well-marked and safe if you take care. You’ll walk through eucalyptus groves, farmlands, and forested areas before reaching stretches where you feel suspended between mountain and ocean. The contrasts — lush green on one side and deep blue sea on the other — make this hike unforgettable. It’s a point-to-point trail, so many people arrange transport from one side or combine it with nearby routes. Good hiking shoes are essential, and a moderate level of fitness is needed due to the length and some ups and downs. Bring water and snacks — this is a place where you’ll want to pause often, not only to rest but also to take in the incredible scenery.
