Community route mapped on AllTrails — this is NOT part of Madeira's official PR (Percurso Recomendado) trail network managed by IFCN, the regional government's forests and nature-conservation authority. It therefore has no official open/closed status and no maintenance or signage guarantee; check access and conditions locally before going.

A demanding linear route that should only be attempted by experienced hikers prepared for natural obstacles along the way. It begins on the Caminho Idelfonso de Castro in the parish of Seixal and is one of several routes in Chão da Ribeira that climb up to the highest levels of the municipality of Porto Moniz.

⚠️ The path is not signposted — follow the GPS on the AllTrails app, and make sure your phone is fully charged before setting out.

Because this trail is not an official IFCN trail, it won't appear on the regional authority's open/closed status system. Always verify locally and be prepared for unmarked, unmaintained terrain.
