Bica da Cana is an unforgettable hike located on Madeira Island in Portugal. This amazing journey follows the levadas of Serra and Norte, offering stunning views of the Sao Vicente valley and beautiful high-altitude vegetation, including UNESCO designated Laurisilva Forest. Trekkers also have the opportunity to walk under a small waterfall. At the end of this trail lies the pinnacle of Bica da Cana, with incredible panoramic views of the Ribeira Brava Valley and the two highest peaks of the island, Pico Arieiro and Pico Ruivo. The journey is about 4.5km, taking 1.5 hours, and offers plenty of opportunities for adventure-seekers along the way. Whether hiking through clouds or delicately crossing streams, an excursion through the dawns of time at Bica da Cana is certainly exciting and rewarding.
