This Madeira Trail Tour track starts next to the Alagoa Beach in Porto da Cruz climbing a path and following the steep road to Terra Baptista, high areas of Porto da Cruz. Here, we enter a long climb up to Pico do Suna descending a small trail that ends at the Levada do Furado, following it right and going through the Levada until the cross with the Levada do Poço da Bezerra, going up in a trail to Chão das Feiteiras which houses a sheepfold. From here we climb by a ancient Royal stone route covered by trees to Poiso.
The descent starts in a trail behind the Poiso forest house, crossing the road a few times and heading for a dirt road where we turn left ad go always down passing through Pico do Suna to get down to Lamaceiros where there is a large pond of water storage for agriculture irrigation, and further down we arrive to the view point Portela, where we can have a top view of the entire village of Porto da Cruz. From here the route follows the dirt road, passing by a single track immersed in dense forest there, until you get to Funduras. The descent to the Porto da Cruz is made by a very steep and technical trail that ends at the Larano. Following the road and footpaths, we arrive at the Maiata Beach, and we finish the course with a few more meters by the sea to enter the Centre of Porto da Cruz.
