Our take

I'd use this if you've left your car at Pico do Arieiro. It brings you back from Achada do Teixeira after your own walk. The ride is shared with up to 7 travellers. You arrange the walk yourself.

The van leaves from the Achada do Teixeira car park every day. Wi-Fi is included on board. Choose a pickup time you can reach after the walk. The van can leave without you if you're late.
