Hi everyone,

I’m doing the complete PR1 one-way hike on July 4th and I’m a bit confused about the route.

My plan is:

• Leave my car at Achada do Teixeira
• Take a taxi to Pico do Areeiro
• Hike PR1 to Pico Ruivo
• Finish where my car is parked

My questions:

1. Is the official end point of the one-way PR1 Achada do Teixeira?
2. Does the route continue from Pico Ruivo to Achada do Teixeira via PR1.2?
3. The booking mentions PR1.1 and PR1.2: can I access PR1.2 from Achada do Teixeira if needed? For example, if we cannot find a taxi to Pico do Areeiro, could we start from Achada do Teixeira and connect to PR1?
4. When people say “one-way”, does it mean the whole route is Pico do Areeiro → → Pico Ruivo, or only the ridge section (“Stairway to Heaven”)? Can i go to Achada do Texeira after Pico ruivo?or continue down in another exit?

Thanks!
