The Eiras Viewpoint (Miradouro das Eiras) walk is a community-mapped route on AllTrails — not part of Madeira's official PR trail network managed by IFCN (the regional government's forests and nature-conservation authority), so it has no official open/closed status and no guaranteed maintenance or signage.

The route

The trail starts near Pico Redondo and follows levada paths through the Parque Florestal das Queimadas — an area of high scenic interest popular for trekking and leisure. The path takes you to the picturesque village of Queimadas, where you can take a break before continuing the long section between Queimadas and Iha, where the route ends at the Eiras Viewpoint itself. The return is via the same route.

Heads-up: At nearly 21 km and rated hard, this is a full-day hike — allow plenty of daylight and carry water and provisions.
