Madeira Hiking Trip with Marisa Mae

MADEIRA HIKING TRIP

    Madeira Hiking Adventure with Marisa Mae
    – Sweet paradise in the middle of the Atlantic!

    An incredible hiking tour on one of the most beautiful Portuguese islands, the Pearl of the Atlantic! If you are a hiking lover, this is the ideal opportunity to discover Madeira and its unique characteristics. Madeira was created by volcanic eruptions and erosion throughout the years. This shaped the island by creating bizarre rock formations and deep gorges.

    The best Madeira trails are full of wonders, and you will discover them as you hike on the mountains, cliffs, and levadas. The levadas are part of an extensive network of small irrigation channels with gentle slopes, very typical of Madeira island, and a perfect path for any adventurous hiker! Breathtaking sceneries and natural highlights, such as the natural pools of Porto Moniz and the Laurissilva Forest (both UNESCO Natural World Heritage sites), will leave you stunned and amazed! It’s your time to explore this hiking paradise!

    Your Host: Marisa Mae, Personal Trainer

    Marisa has trained clients 1:1 and in small groups, online and in person, from her base in Vancouver for over 15 years.

    Nambia - Desert + Wildlife Self-Drive Adventure

    NAMIBIA DESERT + WILDLIFE SELF-DRIVE

      A 15-day self-drive adventure across the jaw-dropping scenery of Namibia. A land of contrast and uncompromising beauty, Namibia is regarded as one of the best destinations in Africa with the highest amount of conservancies in the world – superb landscapes, excellent game viewing, and a safe country to travel around ensure it remains at the top of everyone’s “must visit” destinations.

      Let’s not forget that it is the ONLY country in the world with increasing free-roaming lion and black rhino populations. Namibia is the first country in the world to incorporate the protection of the environment into its constitution. Around 15% of Namibia’s land is protected including virtually the entire Namib Desert coastal strip. Namibia possesses some of the most stunning landscapes in Africa, and a safari through the country is one of the great road adventures. Etosha National Park is the icing on the cake of this Namibia Safari. Namibia is not only a wildlife destination, it is blessed with some of the world’s finest landscapes and wide open spaces. It’s like a coffee-table book comes to life as sand dunes in the world’s oldest desert meet the crashing rollers along the wild Atlantic coast. Among all this is a German legacy evident in the cuisine and art nouveau architecture.

      Namibia is also the headquarters of adventure activities in the region, so whether you’re a dreamer or love hearing the crunch of earth under your boots, travel in Namibia will stay with you long after the desert vistas fade.
