Madeira Walks Volume 1 Leisure Trails Guidebook

Description

This guidebook describes 41 'Leisure Trails' on the island of Madeira. These walking routes are aimed to be 'family friendly' suitable for all walkers of different abilities and age groups.

Madeira is a wonderful destination for walkers, offering a breath taking diversity of landscapes; lushly verdant slopes, towering volcanic peaks, dramatic gorges and soaring cliffs surprise and amaze the newcomer. Add the levada network, primeval forests, subtropical flora and the superb landscaped gardens - little wonder that the island is fondly called "The floating garden of the Atlantic".

Madeira Walks volume 1 offers a wealth of choice for every walker and explores the best areas the island has to offer. There’s a good balance including coastal routes, forest trails, moorland and mountain pathways, plus the classic levada walks.

Each walking route itinerary includes the following:
1) Walking route summary
2) Ratings for effort, Time, Distance, Ascents/Descents, Refreshments and Vertigo risk
3) Detailed description of the walk, including frequent timings to aid navigation and check your progress
4) GPS Waypoints at every key point on every route for pin-point navigational accuracy
5) Full colour 1:40,000 scale map of the route taken from the latest edition of Madeira Tour and Trail Map.
