Casa das Queimadas

From Santana it is a pleasant excursion to the mountain hut of Casa das Queimadas (883m/2,896ft), continuing south on foot to the Parque das Queimadas on the slopes of the Pico Ruivo (1,861m/6,102ft), which can be climbed from here. From the summit, on clear days (which are rare), there is a magnificent panoramic view of the mountains of Madeira.
