This week I am on the gorgeous volcanic island of Madeira, part of Portugal, located in the Atlantic Ocean, north of the Canary Islands, where I will attempt to solo hike from the west side of the island all the way to the far east point. The whole trip took 7 days and was about 225 kilometers long.

This is day 1, where I start in Ponta do Pargo and follow the coast to Pont Moniz and finally towards Ribeira de Janela. In the end, today's hike took me 30.8 km and most of the day to complete, including many stops along the way to eat, rest, or film and mostly to enjoy the view!
Roughly 1000m elevation gain due to the many viewpoints adding to the route and walking up to Ribeira da Janela
