The Vereda da Boca do Risco + Vereda do Larano coastal trail in Madeira is a stunning hike that offers breathtaking views of the coastline. This challenging yet rewarding trail takes hikers from Caniçal to Porto da Cruz, passing through lush forests and along dramatic cliffs. With its insane views and crazy cliffs, this trail is a must-do for anyone looking to experience the beauty of Madeira's eastern coastline.

Attention! The location of the trail is marked incorrectly on Google Maps. The trail actually starts here, and I recommend doing it one-way to cover the most beautiful parts of the Vereda da Boca do Risco and the Vereda do Larano. This way, you'll start your hike in Caniçal and finish in Porto da Cruz.
