WHAT TO PACK FOR MADEIRA

I assume your suitcases are packed, or at least open, so let's go over a simple checklist to make sure you have everything you need for your Madeira adventure:

• Comfortable hiking shoes with a good grip.

• Flip-flops or sandals for casual wear.

• Rain jacket (yes, really! The weather can change quickly here).

• Small flashlight (for tunnels during levada hikes).

• Swimwear for those beach or pool days.

• Daypack for your daily outings.

• Shorts and t-shirts for warmer days.

• Long pants and a sweater/jacket for cooler evenings.

• Evening attire for a night out.

• Sunglasses to protect from the bright island sun.

• Sunscreen (UV radiation here is very strong).

• Camera to capture your best memories.

This list ensures you're prepared for all the beauty and unpredictability Madeira has to offer!
