Description

Guindaste Viewpoint: amazing views  We start our journey with a highlight: the Guindaste viewpoint, offering a unique perspective of the island's rugged beauty from the mini skywalk. So get your (smartphone) camera ready to take some breathtaking island pictures. Rocha do Navio Viewpoint: hidden jewel (incl. Ride Cable Car**) Descend by cable car into a UNESCO-protected valley carved into the cliffs: Rocha do Navio. Discover the lush flora, and waterfalls with far fewer visitors than other coastal attractions. A small jewel which we recommend not to skip. Let's discover paradise! Views and history: São Jorge On our way to Santana we will stop for another beautiful viewpoint - Miradouro das Cabanas. We can have a sneak peak of what we will discover later: the view over Arco de São Jorge and beyond. Dive into São Jorge's history as we explore the Ruinas de São Jorge, the 'door to the sea'. Keep your camera ready, because this is a quite enchanting motive. Santana House and Traditions Our trip will take us to Santana, where we visit an original: Sr. Manuel’s house – a window to Madeira’s history. This stop is all about deepening your understanding of Madeira's local culture and heritage. We also have our lunch break here - you can visit one of the restaurants or keep on strolling through the center of Santana. Through Faial Valley to Miradouro São Lourenço: rugged beauty Lets's dive into the lush greens of Faial Valley - another true hidden gem for travellers who prefer off‑beat comfort over tourist crowds. Lean back in our comfortable electric van and enjoy the views until we arrive our next stop: the Miradouro São Lourenço. At the easternmost end of Madeira, a rough but beautiful coastal landscape awaits us. The view of the cliffs and the wild Atlantic Ocean is simply fascinating. We are in love with the untamed beauty of Madeira's east coast! Poncha Time: Machico's laid-back vibes Our last stop is in Machico - the 'birthplace' of Madeira. Here João Gonçalves Zarco and Tristão Vaz Teixeira first set foot on the island in 1419. We will sit down over a refreshing (and strong) Poncha and toasting to the perfect day in our little paradise. Cheers to us! Back to Funchal: cheers to New Adventures As our day comes to an end, we head back to Funchal. But the adventure doesn't have to end for you! We are happy to recommend our favourite Poncha spots where you can toast the day with your new friends. ** Cable Car Depending on Weather or Maintenance
