3 Peaks of Madeira: Pico Ruivo, Pico da Areeiro, and Pico do Canário
Climbing costs us physical effort. We struggle with our own weaknesses but we like it.
Each TOP is different, but the ones we have reached are more special to us than the others. Reward, views sometimes obscured by clouds, we barely catch air, we breathe harder, we are tired but we still like it.
Shortened Equation
Effort = Climbing = Overcoming Weakness = Beauty =Reward = TOP = Beautiful Views = Joy = Satisfaction

NOT ONLY THE PEAK IS IMPORTANT IN THIS JOURNEY, BUT THE WAY IS ALSO THE DESTINATION
The journey is equally important, what we see on the way to the destination, amazing vegetation, and unusual local flowers, it is best to observe it in the spring season and this one is coming soon.
The people of Madeira are very proud of their mountains, and they are known as the Tres Picos. The Tres Picos are a symbol of Madeira, and they are a source of great pride for the people of the island.
