			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Madeira</strong> is voor iedere natuurliefhebber een paradijs voor het maken van voettochten. Om zeker te zijn dat u plezierige tocht zult hebben, raden wij u ten sterkste aan dat u op pad gaat met een <strong>gekwalificeerde</strong> wandelgids. Uw veiligheid is van grootste belang en u verdient op dit aspect de grootst mogelijke service. Om dat doel te bereiken gebruiken we gekwalificeerde berg- en wandelgidsen.</p>
<div class="zweeflinks"><img src="http://www.madeirawalking.com/beeldmateriaal/2010/01/BergGidsKlimmen-300x225.jpg" alt="Berg Gids Klimmen" title="Berg Gids Klimmen" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-248" /></div>
<p>het is voor de hand liggend dat uw veiligheid al vóór de wandeling begint. Het is cruciaal dat iedereen goed is voorbereid op de risico&#8217;s die hem of  haar te wachten staan. Het maken van tochten langs en op de <strong>levada&#8217;s</strong> routes van Madeira, evenals de overige wandelingen in de natuur, hebben hun risico&#8217;s. Daarom raden wij bijvoorbeeld aan iedere wandelaar dat ze kleding dragen, dat bestaat uit laagjes (wat makkelijk maakt om snel aan- en uit te trekken) en indien mogelijk ook &#8220;waterproof&#8221;. Verder ook het advies om zonnecrème te gebruiken, voldoende water mee te nemen, een zaklantaarn enz.</p>
<p>Onze getrainde wandel- en berggidsen hebben een speciale opleiding van minimaal èèn jaar gevolgd, dat gericht is op alles wat samenhangt met het wandelen op Madeira. Hierdoor kunnen we zowel u, als wandelaar, en de gidsen zelf, alsmede de verbeterde voorzieningen op de wandelroutes, een aangename en ontspannen wandel beleving garanderen.</p>
<p>Helaas zijn er in de afgelopen periodes, door andere organisaties, een grote aanbod van wandelingen met ongekwalificeerde gidsen. Deze onbevoegde &#8220;gidsen&#8221; kunnen risico&#8217;s met zich mee brengen voor de veiligheid van de wandelaars. Tevens zijn deze nep-gidsen niet in staat om een goede service, informatie en veiligheid te voorzien.</p>
<p>Mede hierdoor is er een toename aan ongelukken ontstaan en heeft deze situatie geleid tot grote bezorgdheid op Madeira. verzeker u ervan eerst dat uw gids gekwalificeerd of in opleiding is. Gidsen die dit jaar bezig zijn met hun opleiding mogen als officiële wandelgidsen groep begeleiden. Hiermee verdienen ze meer wandel-uren t.b.v hun gids opleiding.</p>
<p>Zowel gekwalificeerde gidsen als gidsen in opleiding zijn trots op hun beroep en hebben een grote liefde voor de natuur hier op het eiland. Zij willen dat met u delen.</p>
<p>Afgelopen jaren is het aantal wandel-groepen op Madeira sterk gegroeid. Het eiland trekt ieder jaar meer groepen aan, die wij graag verwelkomen. Helaas sommige van deze groepen hadden hun eigen wandel-leider mee, die geen (Madeira) ervaring had, en weigerden om gebruik te maken van een officiële Madeira wandelgids. Volgens de Portugese wetgeving is dit niet toegestaan en daardoor illegaal. Bovendien brengt dit grote risico&#8217;s met zich mee (op het gebied van veiligheid).</p>
<p>Wilt u meer informatie over georganiseerd groepwandelingen, neem dan <a href="http://www.walkingmadeira.com/nl/contact">contact</a> op het <a href="http://www.walkingmadeira.com/nl/contact">Nature Meetings</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We can look back to a successful last year 2009. Not only did we experienced an increase of the total participants for our daily <strong>Nature</strong> / <strong>Levada walks</strong> here on <strong>Madeira</strong>, but we have also seen an increase of groups from various countries such as: <strong>England</strong>, <strong>Germany</strong>, <strong>France</strong>, <strong>Netherlands</strong>, <strong>Spain</strong>, <strong>Portugal </strong>and <strong>Italy</strong>.</p>
<p>For our daily walks we receive participants from all over Europe, and together with our (bilingual) guides are we pleased to share the passion for the nature with them. Thanks to the participant&#8217;s enthusiasm and motivation we experience great fun each time we walk the Levada´s of Madeira with them.</p>
<p><strong>Walking with groups is sharing the joy of nature.</strong></p>
<p>When a group or organization contacts us (regardless the nationality) we start designing a special program according to the needs of the group. We first discuss with the group leader and all the participants the following items:</p>
<ul>
<li>Type of accommodation plus wishes;</li>
<li>Location;</li>
<li>Dates and Times;</li>
<li>A program to ensure that all the wishes from the group are met.</li>
</ul>
<p>During this process we are in continuous contact with each other to build together the best program. </p>
<div class="zweeflinks"><a href="http://www.madeirawalking.com/beeldmateriaal/2009/10/DSC00202_small.jpg" title="Groups on Madeira Island" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://www.madeirawalking.com/beeldmateriaal/2009/10/DSC00202_small-300x225.jpg" alt="Groups on Madeira Island" title="Groups on Madeira Island" width="300" height="225" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-177" /></a></div>
<p>Each time when we welcome groups to Madeira Island, it becomes a new challenge for us. Each group has its own designed / tailor-made program. Groups can stay in various kind of accommodations, from local Residences to 5-star hotels. Nature Meetings will prepare a program, before the group confirms  their visit to Madeira, of which we are confident it will guarantee an enjoyable time.</p>
<p>Groups are not only from various countries, but also from organizations, such as: walking groups, Sport organization, Associations (Bridge, Dancing, Yoga etc), local/private business, national institutions, schools, media, family/friends, etc. </p>
<p>Whatever the background and needs are, it is always a great pleasure for us to design, arrange and carry out groups programs on Madeira.</p>
<p>Together with all our partner Agencies, Tour Operators and the local authorities on Madeira, are we looking forward to another successful year 2010 in which we (again) will share our passion with all the visitors to this beautiful Island of Madeira.   </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The torrential rain on Madeira caused floods and mudslides on several locations on the Island on the 20th of February. However with the impressive effort from the entire Madeirense population and international help, Madeira returned to be again an attractive travel destination.</p>
<p>The airport, that was not affected except it was closed on the day of the floods, is fully operational and all the main roads are now open to the public. Unfortunately there are still some locations that are isolated (Tabua, Serra da Agua and Encumeada), therefore we advice everyone to make first inquiries before traveling towards these areas.</p>
<div class="zweeflinks"><img src="http://www.madeirawalking.com/beeldmateriaal/2010/03/LevadaWalking-300x199.jpg" alt="" title="Levada Walking" width="300" height="199" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-295" /></div>
<p>Many footpaths on Madeira had problems with fallen trees and landslides; however the majority of these walks are now repaired and accessible to the public.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.walkingmadeira.com/levada-walks">Nature Meetings daily walking program</a> is now fully operational, with the exception of the full day walk on Sunday: “Slopes and Valleys of Calheta” and Wednesday: “Laurisilva Landscapes”. The Full day walk on Sunday has been removed from our program and we only offer our half day Levada walk: “Amazing Vistas”. The full day Levada walk on Wednesday is replaced with a Laurisilva Levada walk from Santo da Serra to Portela (this is temporarily, as the original walk from Ribeiro Frio to Portela should be open in May 2010).</p>
<p>We advice all walkers on Madeira prepare themselves for the walk they intent to do, as there can be obstacles on the walking paths, and be aware that it can be slippery as it requires some time to dry out.</p>
<p>In particular, it is crucial that people don’t do a Levada walk on their own!! There might be unexpected situations that can result in a premature end of your holiday her on Madeira. Therefore we (including the authorities on Madeira) strongly suggest to make use of the services of a walk guide through the various qualified walking organization.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Langzaamaan naderen wij het einde van 2009. Achterom kijkend kunnen we nu al spreken van een succesvol jaar. Wij hebben niet alleen een toename gezien van het aantal deelnemers aan onze dagtochten, maar ook van het aantal groepen uit een groter aantal landen, zoals <strong>Engeland</strong>, <strong>Duitsland</strong>, <strong>Frankrijk</strong>, <strong>Nederland</strong>, <strong>Spanje</strong>, <strong>Portugal</strong> en <strong>Italie</strong>.</p>
<div class="zweeflinks"><a href="http://www.madeirawalking.com/beeldmateriaal/2009/10/Groups-walking-the-peaks.jpg" title="Groepen op het eiland Madeira" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://www.madeirawalking.com/beeldmateriaal/2009/10/Groups-walking-the-peaks-300x225.jpg" alt="Groepen op het eiland Madeira" title="Groepen op het eiland Madeira" width="300" height="225" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-193" /></a></div>
<p>Voor onze dagtochten krijgen we deelnemers uit alle windstreken van Europa. Voor onze  (meertalige) gidsen is het een groot genoegen om samen met hen onze passie voor de Madeiriaanse natuur te delen. Dankzij het enthousiasme van de deelnemers ervaren wij iedere keer een grote voldoening als wij met hen een tocht maken langs de <strong>Levada&#8217;s van Madeira</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Tochten maken met groepen is het samen ondergaan van de schoonheid van de natuur.</strong></p>
<p>Als een groep of een organisatie ons benadert (ongeacht de nationaliteit) beginnen wij met een speciaal programma te ontwerpen overeenkomstig de wensen van de groep. Allereerst bespreken we met de groepsleiding en de deelnemers de volgende onderdelen:</p>
<ul>
<li>soort van accommodaties , plus eventuele wensen</li>
<li>verblijfplaatsen</li>
<li>data en tijdstippen</li>
<li>een programma dat rekening houdt met alle wensen</li>
</ul>
<p>Gedurende dit proces is er een voortdurend contact met de groep om samen tot het best mogelijke programma te komen.</p>
<p>Iedere keer, als wij een groep op Madeira verwelkomen, betekent het voor ons een nieuwe uitdaging. Voor elke groep komt er een eigen, op maat gemaakt, programma. De groepen kunnen verblijven in diverse soorten accommodaties, van plaatselijke eenvoudige onderkomens tot 5sterren hotels. Voordat de groep hun bezoek aan Madeira bevestigt willen wij een programma voorbereid hebben,waarvan wij overtuigd zijn,dat zulks een prettig verblijf garandeert.</p>
<p>Wat ook de achtergrond en de wensen zijn, voor ons is het altijd een groot genoegen om gerichte programma&#8217;s te ontwerpen, te organiseren en te volbrengen.</p>
<p>Samen met  al onze partners (instellingen, touroperators, plaatselijke autoriteiten ) kijken wij vooruit naar een volgend succesvol jaar 2010, waarin we (opnieuw )  met alle bezoekers onze passie willen delen voor het prachtige eiland Madeira.</p>

<p>Die Landschaft, das Klima, die Geschichte und das Essen einer Region prägen die Kultur und das Lebensgefühl der hiesigen Bevölkerung. Die wahre Schönheit und die Geheimnisse einer fremden Umgebung kann man am intensivsten beim Wandern entdecken. Der &#8220;hautenge&#8221; Kontakt zu den Einheimischen, zu Ihrer Kultur und zu ihrer Lebensweise lässt den Urlaub erst zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis werden. Für all jene die dies Erleben möchten, aber über keine oder nur sehr wenig Wandererfahrung verfügen, sind unsere Wanderungen gedacht.</p>
