#BUXO Trail

Trilho há muito esquecido aberto por uma empresa local e que agora em 2018 foi totalmente reaberto e mantido pela #FREERiDE MADEIRA. Muito rápido com tabelas e muitos saltos, está sedeado na montanha do BUXO, daí advém o seu nome.
Todo o seu trajecto é feito meio Alpine e outra metade debaixo de floresta Eucalipto.

This trail is unsanctioned.

Dos curvas con ramas de eucalipto que hay que evitar. La zona de eucaliptus sucia. Muy buena bajada
