Description

Hey explorer! Are you curious about the west of Madeira? Rightly so, because lush green landscapes, great coastal scenery await you. Madeira's nature in all its glory! Achadas da Cruz: a piece of paradise Our adventure takes us to Achadas da Cruz, one of our absolute favourite places on the island. Get ready for some thrills, because here we go 600m downhill - with the steepest cable car in Europe and a gradient of 98%. For those who get a little nervous at the thought of the cable car ride: it only takes a very short 5 minutes. It's worth it, because once we reach the bottom, peace, relaxation and breathtaking scenery await us. Simply a beautiful spot of earth between the wild Atlantic Ocean and high green cliffs. Up again, a nice view and some Portuguese coffee is awaiting us - chose between a Bica or a Garoto. Porto Moniz: refreshing sea pools Want to cool down? In Porto Moniz natural sea pools between black volcanic rocks are waiting for us. We will also show you the more hidden and quiet ones. Seixal: Black sand beach and waterfalls Seixal's black sand beach has made it to some fame on Instagram. Cameras at the ready, because the landscape with beach, sea and waterfalls is just fantastic! Poncha Time! we stop at a local poncha bar and try the most famous drink of the island. Cheers to us! Back in Funchal: Cheers to new memories and friends
