Itinerary
In this running experience we travel deep inside the Laurissilva forest far away from the civilization and we'll discover some of the hidden treasures these mountains hide.
We start by running flat in a Levada, and we'll cross 2 tunnels (500m and 800m). We will see on the way some big and smaller waterfalls and we'll feel the humidity of this forest.
On the second part of the tour, we will push har climbing hundreds of steps to have an open view to the mountains.
The last 3 km are in the road relaxing downwards to the starting point while enjoying the view.
This track is 18km long with around 700m elevation gain/loss.

If you love trail running or hiking this is an absolute must do! Dino is a fantastic guide and this tour is the best we have ever done ! He took some great pictures for us too. Easy to book online, pick up/drop off from hotel all included. Would 100% recommend great value for money. We will definitely do another one next time thank you Dino!

This was truly a fantastic run and would recommend it to anyone. Dino has some great local knowledge and there is lots of craic to be had. we ran 18km but it was a comfortable run as Dino adapted to my pace and made it easy. I would hope to come back and do a few different tours in the future.
