This hidden gem is surrounded by towering mountains and offers a unique glimpse into the island’s agricultural lifestyle. Here, the air is fresh, and the landscape is lush. If time permits, visit a local café to savor a traditional Madeiran Poncha. As the tour begins to wrap up, gather back at your vehicle for the drive back to Câmara de Lobos, where you can enjoy the incredible views during the descent. The changing perspectives will reveal new aspects of Madeira's stunning landscape, making the return journey just as memorable.
