Pico do Facho (European Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈpiku ðu ˈfaʃu]) is the highest peak on Porto Santo Island, with 517 m (1,696 ft) in altitude.

Its name comes from facho, a light beam created by a bonfire, which was used to signal both the local population and Funchal of pirate ships.

The bonfire could be seen from Ponta de São Lourenço on the main island of Madeira.

[1][2][3][4] There are no roads leading to the top of the peak, however there is a path from Pico do Castelo to Pico do Facho and to some nearby peaks about 1.5 - 2 hours walk.
