Pay 10.50 euros and leave garbage along the Pico Ruivo trail. Path was subject to restoration work and reopened in April.

Some hikers paid 10.50 euros to walk the PR1 trail, which connects Pico do Areeiro to Pico Ruivo, and left garbage along the route. The trail had been subject to restoration work and reopened to the public in April.

The situation was reported on social media, where images of waste abandoned on the trail were shared. The post generated outrage among users who criticized the hikers' behaviour.

The PR1 is one of Madeira's most popular walking routes, attracting thousands of visitors every year. The trail restoration represented a significant investment to improve safety conditions and access on the island.
