The biggest risk to solo travellers is really the mountains and nature themselves, but for a relatively small island, there’s an impressive range of skilled, professional guides working here; from the canyons to the peaks and oceans.
I’ve always felt safe while visiting Madeira. The biggest risk to solo travellers is really the mountains and nature themselves, but for a relatively small island, there’s an impressive range of skilled, professional guides working here; from the canyons to the peaks and oceans. The island’s high point, Pico Ruivo, makes for one of the best hikes on Madeira; and there’s a lot to be said for catching your breath with some yoga surrounded by ancient woodland.
