Pico do Arieiro to Pico Ruivo (Madeira)

Pico Ruivo is the highest peak on Madeira Island. It can be reached only by foot, usually either from Pico do Arieiro (3rd highest) after a strenuous hike, or from Achada do Teixeira via a shorter, easier trail. There is an additional trail leading west to Encumeada. The hut just below the summit is now open, and there are water tap and toilets available.

Achada do Teixeira is a mountain and a settlement of the freguesia (parish) of Santana, of the municipality of Santana, Ilha da Madeira. It has a natural attraction in basalt stone which is called the "standing man" ("homem em pé" in Portuguese). From here the main access to Pico Ruivo departs via the trail PR1.2 Vereda do Pico Ruivo.

Pico das Torres is the second highest peak on the Atlantic island of Madeira, Portugal. It lies roughly midway between the Pico Ruivo and Pico do Arieiro at an elevation of 1,853 metres (6,079 ft) and is only accessible from the trail between these two peaks.
