Vereda do Larano is a stunning coastal hike on the eastern side of Madeira, following a cliff-side trail that offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The trail begins near Machico, where hikers can admire panoramic vistas of the town and the coastline stretching toward the north. Carved directly into the side of the mountain, the path provides dramatic perspectives over the ocean, making each step a visual delight. Its narrow and rugged sections reveal the island’s natural beauty and the skill involved in carving trails along steep cliffs.
Historically, this trail served as the shortest route between Machico and Porto da Cruz, used by locals to transport goods and travel efficiently along the coast. Walking the path today allows visitors to experience a mix of adventure and history, with the ever-present ocean on one side and towering cliffs on the other. The combination of dramatic scenery, historical significance, and the sense of walking along a centuries-old route makes Vereda do Larano a must-visit for hikers seeking both beauty and a touch of Madeira’s past.
