Portugal's Outer Islands - Madeira Mountain and Sea Tour

Madeira is an outlying island under the jurisdiction of Portugal. It is a holiday resort for people from European and American countries. There are not many Asians here (probably few of them have heard of this place). We got to know this place through a relative who is very good at tasting red wine. This is the birthplace of football star Cristiano Ronaldo. The red wine produced here is very famous. There is also sunshine and beaches, and the terrain structure is also natural. Since we are in Portugal, let's take a look at this place. I won’t talk about food in this article, because the food here is not particularly outstanding, and the seafood is no different from that in Lisbon, but the price is more expensive than in Lisbon. Here I will focus on our activities in Madeira, including climbing mountains and going into the sea! We took part in a local tour and hiked for four hours from the third peak, Pico Arieiro, to the first peak, Pico Ruivo. With the right time, location and people, we saw a large sea of ​​clouds on the mountain. Although the mountain road was rugged, fortunately the tour guide took care of the group members all the way. Our group of more than ten people completed the trip smoothly and enjoyed the mountain scenery of Madeira together! The second local tour was the Madeira jeep 4X4 west full day tour, which took us on a tour of the west in a four-wheel drive vehicle. When the four-wheel drive vehicle went off road, everyone in the car almost fainted. One of our spots is Fanal forest. This mysterious forest looks like a scene from a suspense movie. The fog is so thick that you can hardly see your fingers, and the photos taken there are also full of mystery. After that, we were taken to the natural pool of Porto Moniz to swim. I would like to say that Madeira is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and the water was extremely cold. I also forced myself to immerse my whole body in it. Maybe because I was weak, I could not stay in the water for long. Even though there was sunshine, my whole body was shaking. But I have to say that this natural pool facing the endless Atlantic Ocean is quite comfortable. In addition, the tour guide also took us to see natural waterfalls and majestic sea cliffs. Although this trip to Madeira is physically demanding, it is also an alternative experience. Finally, I would like to share with you a little information. The runway of Madeira Airport is built on a hillside and is very short. Coupled with the strong crosswind, it is very difficult for aircraft to land. Therefore, it has the title of "one of the most dangerous airports in the world". Pilots traveling to and from this island must undergo special training. No wonder the passengers clapped when the plane landed smoothly at Madeira Airport. There were many people on the airport observation deck. Whenever a plane took off or landed, people took out their mobile phones to take photos and videos. They were very excited! #Sign up for hotel test sleeper
