Highest peak on Madeira From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pico Ruivo (European Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈpiku ˈʁujvu]) is the highest peak on Madeira Island. It can be reached only by foot, usually either from Pico do Areeiro (3rd highest) after a strenuous hike, or from Achada do Teixeira via a shorter, easier trail. There is an additional trail leading west to Encumeada. The hut just below the summit is now open, and there are water tap and toilets available.
