A cache deverá ser realizada com boas condições metereológicas para que possas usufruir das abrangentes paisagens desde os mais altos picos da ilha até a cidade do Funchal.
This cache's route is located between 1759 and 1400 meters altitude.
The cache should be done with good weather conditions so you can enjoy the broad landscapes from the highest peaks of the island to the city of Funchal.
O percuso percorre a linha divisória entre os concelhos do Funchal e de Câmara de Lobos.
Irás caminhar ao longo das montanhas olhando para o Curral das Freiras, bem lá em baixo, a quase 1000m de desnível.
The route runs along the dividing line between the counties of Funchal and Câmara de Lobos.
You will walk along the mountains safely looking at the Nun's Valley, down low, with almost a 1000m gap.
O percurso poderá ser feito de diversas formas. Poderás efectuar um percurso circular, mais longo e cansativo com algumas subidas. A outra hipótese será efectuar o percurso quase sempre a descer, começando no Pico do Arieiro e terminando no Curral das Freiras. Neste caso terás de utilizar 2 carros ou outros meios de transporte.
The route may be done in several ways. You can make a round trip, longer and with some exhausting climbs. The other hypothesis is a descending trail, starting at Pico Arieiro and ending at the Nun's Valley. In this case you will have to use two cars or other means of transport.
