PR 13 - Vereda do Fanal is a 11 km hiking trail in Madeira that takes about 4 hours to complete. Starting at Paúl da Serra plateau, hikers can explore the lush Laurissilva forest, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The trail ends at Fanal, where you can relax in a volcanic crater surrounded by ancient Til woods. With moderate difficulty, this trail offers stunning natural views and a unique experience in the heart of Madeira's nature.
