This is the second part of the PR8 Verada da Ponta de São Lourenço Hiking Trail in Madeira. I have some more content from this hike that I wasn't able to fit into one post. You can find the first part here where you can find a lengthier description of this trail. In this post, I have some pictures to show when I was on my way back and shots of some plants that grow in this dry deserted area.
When we were done spending some time on top of the peninsula, It was time we started going back, we used a slightly different route when going back.
Some birds shots from the top.
The sun was starting to set and created different conditions for getting some awesome landscape shots.
The creation of wind erosion.
Mostly the plants you can find on this trail are succulent. Here are a couple of different cacti I saw on my way.
That looks hostile, I wouldn't want to fall on this one.
These god rays looked really beautiful that came visible over the mountains.
The end was in sight. By that time the sun was gone already and we made it to the end just in time.
Overall, I really loved this hike. Absolutely stunning scenery with beautiful landscapes and seascapes. It wasn't very hard but my legs were a bit shot still afterward. This peninsula looks totally different than other parts of Madeira which are full of greenery. If you ever visit then you can't miss this hike.
I got many more cool hikes from Madeira to post. Also, the trip's highlight hike between the highest mountains above clouds.
As always, stay tuned!
