A place where you didn\u2019t feel the fatigue, your lack of sleep or the heavy backpack weighing you down. Such a spot that carried you away to the world, where only \u201cnow and here\u201d is important, nothing else. Where all your problems disappear and you just feel so light, feel in such a peace and reconcilement with everything.<\/p><p>I\u2019ve been on the road for almost 12 years. I\u2019ve recently counted \u2013 this journey took me to 80 countries, 6 continents and thousands of different spots in various corners of the world.<\/p><p>The result of my long-standing trips is that they kind of make you used to the surrounding beauty and to unique landscapes. Suddenly something that should be a phenomenon becomes your reality and nothing unusual. Places that should leave you speechless and take your breath away turn into just another pretty spot. This process is really hard to stop. But, like with everything you experience every day, if you have it, you begin to take it for granted, like something obvious that you are entitled for.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7c63f62d elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7c63f62d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-342d7dff\" data-id=\"342d7dff\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-339030ca elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"339030ca\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/travelandkeepfit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/37-MB-20190729-_MWB2926-2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-22483\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelandkeepfit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/37-MB-20190729-_MWB2926-2.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/travelandkeepfit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/37-MB-20190729-_MWB2926-2-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travelandkeepfit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/37-MB-20190729-_MWB2926-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travelandkeepfit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/37-MB-20190729-_MWB2926-2-440x293.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-faecf3a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"faecf3a\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4573eee\" data-id=\"4573eee\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-23f5b01 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"23f5b01\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Mother Nature vs. human \u2013 1:0<\/h2><p>I will honest with you \u2013 I was so afraid that all these journeys would make me stop feeling these intense emotions, this rapture, delight and appreciation that I am allowed to discover another beautiful place. That at some point even the most beautiful view would go unnoticed without even bringing a smile on my face. That all these places wouldn\u2019t make my heart beat faster and that they simply would start to blur into one, pretty collage. Very few of professional travelers would ever admit to that but the worst nightmare for us is the burn-out syndrome. It\u2019s tactless, inconvenient and simply not right to say that something doesn\u2019t delight us much as it is expected of us. But it happens anyway. You know that I am always honest with you and I hope that you feel this while reading my articles. So, I would lie to you if I said that I always feel the same emotions as I did before.<\/p><p>Usually this is the moment when the surrounding world flicks me right into my nose. I visit a place that I don\u2019t expect much, but the Mother Nature reminds me with all her power that I don\u2019t know this world at all, that I\u2019ve seen nothing yet and I am only starting to learn what beauty means.I am taught humility for my human arrogance and in the same time I breathed with such an inexpressible relief, because looking around, I start feeling gratitude and delight again. Mother Nature vs. human \u2013 1:0. And I love losing to her like that.<\/p><p><strong>Pico do Arieiro on Madeira<\/strong> was one of these places lately that made me forget about the whole world happening around me.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9b9ecb1 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9b9ecb1\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-92abb6f\" data-id=\"92abb6f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1260728 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1260728\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Third time lucky<\/h2><p>We visited this peak three times, so the pictures you see in this post will differ quite a lot. This is the most fascinating thing \u2013 the same summit but it looked different every time. At least one thing is constant about this place \u2013 you have to be there at sunrise. Our first morning was difficult \u2013 only three hours of sleep, so we barely managed to drag ourselves out of our beds. We started off at 5 AM, driving in total darkness on a winding road towards the Pico do Arieiro peak. My motion sickness was, as usual, extremely happy to ride along. It takes about 25 minutes to leave Fuchal city but then you can drive very close to the peak, where a free car park is.<\/p><p>The first sunrise at Pico do Arieiro was clear, intensely orange, the clouds were thin and they quickly disappeared over the horizon, letting us see the layers of the view and the surrounding

second one, about one kilometer further. The path between these decks was delightful, not even to mention the view that spread in front of our eyes. I was already charmed with what I saw but I had heard stories that it still wasn\u2019t the best you could experience there.<\/p><p>Michael and I came back happy but not fully satisfied, because the mountain peaks were not bundled up in clouds. It would have to be foggy and rainy, instead of beautifully sunny, like it was then. Besides, I think it was the first place, in which I secretly hoped that the weather would get worse and that it would start to rain.<\/p><p>The next climb, which happened 2 days later, was not easier for us at all and I can\u2019t say that you can get used to getting up at 4 AM. Definitely not if you were editing pictures till 2 AM. Well, those are the charms of travel blogging!<\/p><p>With our eyelids drooping, we did a re-run and this time it was a complete fiasco. When we reached the peak we were greeted by thick fog and rain so heavy that we were barely able to see anything more than our outstretched arms. We sat in the car for 40 minutes and it didn\u2019t seem to improve even a little bit, so we drove back to our hotel. Someone took my prayers for foggy weather a bit too serious.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section

Surrealistic, monumental and engulfing everything. This was the moment when I was flicked in the nose. The beauty of the landscape left me speechless. I simply stood there in one place, afraid that had I moved or even blinked, everything I saw would have disappeared. This was the most touching moment during my Madeira trip and it\u2019s worth to visit this magical island even only to see this place.<\/p>\n<p>When the sun began to rise higher and higher above this slowly thinning cloud carpet, we set off to the second observation deck, which was about a kilometer away.

Narrow passages and the elevations go through tunnels, hewed through the mountains.<\/p><p>You can reach <strong>Pico Ruivo<\/strong> in various ways. From the south you can take <strong>Pico Arieiro trail<\/strong>, from the east the route from <strong>Achada do Teixeira<\/strong>, and from the north-west, driving from <strong>Ponta Delgada to Lomba do Urzal<\/strong>, where the <strong>Pico das Eirinhas<\/strong> trail begins, which leads to Pico Ruivo. You can also try going from Boca da Encumeada but this route is a long one.<\/p><p><strong>The easiest climb is from the Achada do Teixeira<\/strong> side but you\u2019ll get <strong>the most spectacular views on the most difficult trail, so from Pico do Arieiro<\/strong>.
